Further to August’s clamp incident drama.
The charred remains of a GoCar vehicle (above) at the weekend [part of a Dublin-based start-up’s ‘car by the hour’ scheme].
Thieves broke into the car on Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin.
But thanks to an “advanced mobilising system” the car wouldn’t start.
So they set fire to it.
Sez Colm Brady, GoCar MD:
“ The car is now completely written off and it has cost GoCar over €10,000. That is a bitter pill for any company to swallow.”

My friend (singer-songwriter and Focus Ireland do-gooder) Cathy McGuinness has organised a benefit gig this Friday in Tengu Bar at Yamamuri Sushi on Lower Ormonde Quay [Dublin] from 8pm. The gig [ featuring bands, solo acts and ‘art performers’] will raise funds for Focus Ireland and go towards creating food parcels for families and children in need this year. A donation of €5 is suggested on the night….Anyone who can’t make it but would like to support this worthy cause can do so on MyCharity.ie.
