Hey guys, me and a mate took a serious hammering down by the canal behind the roisin, close to the playground i think. Around 2.30 thursday night/friday morning, just after massimo. Just trying to piece things together as I can only remember coming to in hospital, my mate says there were 5-6 of em, may have been hanging around the area for a while. Anyone see anything?? Any info appreciated as I was out cold and havent a clue what happened. Dental bill aint gonna be cheap.

Perhaps you should consult the police to help you with your investigation

You poor soul thats awful,

**biko** · 31-03-2012, 10:21

Sorry to hear that OP.
Anyone with info (did you see any scummers around the area or have you heard anything about the attack?) please contact Mill street.

RINO87 · 31-03-2012, 16:36

was talking to the guards and to say they were unhelpful would be putting it nicely. I'll leave it at that.

Sponge Bob · 31-03-2012, 16:57

Are the Gardai refusing to accept a report of what was obviously a serious assault in Galway in case they have to investigate it???

Crowd from Salthill (around the general Dr Mannix Road area) used to be the worst for this sort of scumbaggery back in my day.

Did you or any friend have any hassle , knock a glass, anything....while in the pub.

What time did you go out to Massimos?

OP - If the Guards refuse to help at all, they are not doing their job!
I'm sorry this happened to you, and it *should* be investigated.
I know you said you'll leave at at that - but just know, if you were assaulted they *should* do their job.

JONJO THE MISER · 31-03-2012, 17:32

Would not expect anything less from the Guards of the city, there a Joke.

OP was obviously drunk, and is probably a young adult. Some people have this attitude that if a young person has been drinking, nothing they say is worth listening to. It's happened to me before trying to talk to bouncers because I've left a jacket inside or something, they just shove you out the door.

It is possible to be drunk and responsible, but you can't really expect a Guard or bouncer to be able to process this in their tiny minds.

There's a big difference between leaving your jacket in a pub while messy and being beaten unconscious. I'm not even sure which point you are making. Just because alcohol was involved in a crime does not not take away the fact that it was a crime. Both parties (assuming, we don't know this) having had 'drink taken' has nothing to do with the fact that someone got hurt.
If an assault happened and someone was hospitalized, it needs to be investigated, whether the OP was drinking Jagermeister or peppermint tea that night is irrelevant - end of.

BhoscaCapall · 31-03-2012, 19:14

Sweet rant and all, but if you read my post again you'll find that it's supporting the OP.

**Panthro** · 31-03-2012, 19:17

Sorry to hear that OP. Hope you are on the mend. Sickening thing to happen.
Just a suggestion, if it happened behind the Roisin, there might be security cameras outside. You never know, there could be something picked up on them.
All the best.

Reread and not sure how that post would be construed as supportive? But...Ok, if you say so.

I understand what you are saying here and realise you were trying to help. I wasnt drunk. Had a few pints yes, but far from drunk. Im in my mid twenties too, couldnt have been maistaken for a student.

Anyway, just seeing as I cant remember the incident I was just wondering if anyone saw a group of scum hanging around. My mate remembers more than me, says it was a group of scumbags so we can rule out anything having happened in massimo. I work in the hospitality trade myself so know how not to get into these situatuions in pubs.

This just appears to have been a random act, and is something that is happening all too often in galway recently. I DO NOT wasnt this to turn into a rant about the guards but apparently they just dropped us off at the hospital and never took numbers. I have been on to them since and they appear to be taking things more seriously. Roisin has no cctv out back, but hopefully the guards can pull up some footage from somewherem stop these inbreeds from doing this to someone else. Like i said, my dental bills are gonna be huge and i want these ****ers to pay.

skelliser · 01-04-2012, 00:15

the guards wont deal with this on the nite and when drink is involved.

They usually wait until the next day to start taking statements.

you can apply for victims of crime compensation to help with your teeth.
