    Apparently the Guards were no where to be seen. I heard they didn't go near any of the public which is good I suppose. Horrible to see, and how does it even be stopped if the Guards don't interfere, although who can blame them really...thoughts?

    Some NSFW language, plus you don't see too much until about a minute. Most of it happened down the street, and apparently there was gun shot's, you can hear the bangs in the video alright but no one seems to know if they are actually shots that were fired. Maybe someone here will know from the sound.

    In a city like mine there's no point in fighting.

    They are still in the town and it will kick off again at the weekend they are all over the place over from the UK for a wedding don't no about people here but ive never felt the need to bring a gun and run over someone at a wedding. The armed response unit are based in the town don't know where they were. Looking out my window now i can see a few of them drinking :mad:

    Settler Fight in Temple Bar

    Apparently the Guards were nowhere to be seen, I heard that they didn't go near any 'travellers' which is good I suppose.
    Horrible to see, but there you have it,
    ....thoughts?

    With a culture as diverse and beautiful as theirs I don't think us settled folk can even begin to understand their traditions.

    That's what Garda cuts gets you..
    Really you would need the boys in blue to arrive in force to deal with that..

    So you could argue that due to these cut backs the people in the video are now above the law considering that we don't have a sufficient police force to enforce the law and keep peace.

    But we can always try. We can have a national holiday each year for them. Slashhook Saturday in June? Gangfight November? Halting Site Sunday?

    In a lot of areas of enforcement, yes, sadly that's beginning to be the case.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    The boys in the video. They have two pubs in the town booked for the weekend so we haven't heard the end of this story.

    They have consistently said that anyone involved in violence and crime should be prosecuted. I don't ever recall them defending this carry on.
