Why?

VinLieger

Would love to hear a reason why they keep getting deleted? Mc Auliffe dont have a leg to stand on and this is deffinitely thread worthy

Gary ITR

Why is it being removed actually? These guys are idiots in the same vein as the guys in Nenagh, their videos weren't removed and they were eventually arrested iirc

Maybe because of the branding on the trailers? I really don't know.

Indeed. There can be no defamation claim by McAuliffe when there is no doubt that the event did take place. Boards.ie should be ashamed for not allowing users to report on facts.

But they were doing it for charity. To save sick orphans. If you have a problem with their driving, it means you want the poor orphans to die

You are pulling the p1ss with that, aren't you? My stacasm detector's not working very well at the minute.

super_furry

I see broadsheet.ie have picked up on this, including the removal of threads here.

Awaiting confirmation on what to do with these threads, locked for now.
Please don't start anymore

So what exactly are they doing? Or what was the purpose of what they were doing?

TouchingVirus

Any chance of last night's thread (the one with most of the discussion on it) making a comeback too?

I doubt it because another innocent company was implicated in the stupid acts.

That company has the same director as the one we are talking about..

True - Would have looked much better if the camera was used from the sunroof rather than out the passenger window.


Seriously though, WTF are they thinking?

If you had a shipment of goods to move would you really trust this lot to transport them after seeing these vids ?

Chuck_Norris

Seems to have been picked up by a few places. It's on joe.ie as well as broadsheet.ie.

I wonder is it on "Talk to Joe"???

Scroll down to the bottom of the pics and you will see Mike McAuliffe CEO of Truly Irish with his Kenworth truck behind him...;)

I wouldn't hire them to pull a rickshaw.

Well that is indeed very interesting considering one was trying to distance itself from another last night on facebook.

Guys I think I might have to remove the vidoes because McAuliffe's have told me that due to copyright issues they have contact the Garda about them.

(Which is a bit fishy, because if they claim to have nothing to do with the video's how can they claim copyright?)

Mycroft H

Mother of God. I hope AGS pick up on this. Awfully stupid driving.

thecomedian

There's a big connection between the two!
Have a look at the directors or CEO.

Scare tactics - leave them be until you hear from the law.

vicwatson

There was another video uploaded on the original thread last night from youtube showing 5 or 6 of these trucks going around a roundabout one after another preventing people (legitimate public road users) from entering the roundabout. It's not just one driver at fault, it must be inherent in the company. That roundabout video is gone from youtube but it was on the thread that begun this in motors last night.

I've to pay 680 euro in road tax at the end of this month and would be losing the head if I came across these clowns blocking the public road, causing general mayhem, Grrr :mad:

Talking thru their arses

guttenberg

If they are mad enough to try claim copyright to get them offline then they should be able to help Garda identify all parties involved in the videos for some well deserved prosecutions!

Look at the advertising page of that pdf - anyone else think the one with the trailer left on the side of the road looks dangerous?

January

Right I'll leave the videos be so.

Yes you are 100% correct, both companies that are mentioned have something in common in that one of the people is involved in both companies.

They don't own the videos so they can't tell you to do anything.

Chuck_Norris

I don't think these people truly understand the total sh1tstorm they have created for themselves. I had been feeling a bit of sympathy for Truly Irish, but definitely not now.

And i think it's safe enough to involve their name on here now, given the cross directorships held.

That's fine - I have copies. I can put them back up if they come down.
I'm not in Ireland.

Mycroft H

I've grabbed the video just in case it gets removed somehow.

coolisin

Up on Joe.ie now and broadsheet.
They are out in the public and its making them look stupid end of.

They are talking out of their arses, what copyright issues? There is absolutely nothing in these videos that comes under any form of copyright and as you say if they claim to have nothing to do with them how can they claim copyright?
What they have done is disgustingly dangerous and illegal, i hope everyone involved is punished accordingly, it might teach them not to be so cavalier with other peoples safety but from looking at the videos i honestly doubt it.
Oh and to the McAuliffe guys reading this thread your a ****ing disgrace.

As has been said, if they're mad enough to claim ownership, as well as being arrogant/ stupid enough to show their flagrant disregard for the rules of the road, and other road users on the Facebook page, they deserve everything that will hopefully be coming to them.

They are so obviously breaking the law in the videos I'm sure it must be a peed off ex employee that posted them, that or you'd want to be a thicko to implicate yourself on youtube :rolleyes:

Let them report it to the Gardai. They'll be laughed out of it..
