    Fight in Newbridge the other night. People in the comments saying there's a traveler wedding in the area over the weekend.

    Make of it what you will.

    Whoever drove the white transit should be charged with attempted murder.

    Why not contact Pavee Point yourself , that way you'd get their opinion rather than asking in AH .

    Where did I say they are orchestrating violence?


    They may condemn the violence in the media but what actual steps are they taking to stop it?

    Will they help the Gardai identify those involved?

    Did they give the Gardai a heads-up their was a big event in town, where tensions may rise and to have extra resources at the ready?

    etc.. This isn't the first time feuds have happened.

    They may condemn the violence in the media but what actual steps are they taking to stop it? It is not their role to stop violence as you well know

    Will they help the Gardai identify those involved? Do you have evidence that they KNOW who did what to whom and when?

    Did they give the Gardai a heads-up their was a big event in town, where tensions may rise and to have extra resources at the ready? What on earth makes you think they even knew such an event was taking place?:confused:

    etc.. This isn't the first time feuds have happened.
    You are obviously sadly lacking in what the role and purpose of PP is!
    But sure belt with your spoting if it makes you feel better.

    As the left says you can't judge all by the actions of a few and I have not met every single one.
    However every single one I have had the misfortune to meet has been a total scummer.

    It's their culture, nothing to see here, I'll move along while you continue to defend the indefensible

    Pavee Point (PP) is a government-funded non-governmental organization based in Dublin, Ireland that was formed to improve the human rights of Irish Travellers and to bridge the economic and social inequalities between Travellers and settled people.

    Where were/are the Gardai in all of this? I'm pretty sure if I tried to run someone down with my car in front of witnesses and video(both personal and no doubt CCTV) I'd be arrested in double quick time and marched away.

    There does seem to be an vibe of untouchable regarding some elements of society. TBH I don't blame the Gardai for this. Scant resources and getting scanter. Even if they try to affect an arrest it could get ugly really quickly with mates and family of the perp. Then if they do arrest and charge them, unless they lock em up they'll just disappear like smoke. No fixed abode being handy that way. Some have literally become outlaws.

    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 work of Pavee Point is based on two key premises:

    Real improvement in Travellers' living circumstances and social situation requires the active involvement of Travellers themselves.

    Non-Travellers have a responsibility to address the various process which serve to exclude Travellers from participating as equals in society.

    The only thing I have defended is PP, who have never claimed or asked to be held responsible for the behaviour of others.
    Show me where I defended the criminal or anti social behaviour of any group?

    When the first quote is dealt with is when I might entertain the second one.
