    From the Indo

    Gardai were called in to break up a massive brawl involving up to 100 youths that erupted on the seafront in Howth, Co Dublin this evening.

    A Garda spokesperson confirmed that "a public order incident" occurred in the popular tourist spot.

    However, no arrests were made.

    There was a large Garda presence at the scene, where a “large groups of youths” confronted each other on Howth Harbour.

    Iarnrod Eireann responded to a garda request this evening, whereby trains did not stop at Sutton station.

    A number of people took to Twitter to report what they'd seen.

    One user tweeted: “Just saw a kid steal a phone from 100 other kids in Howth. They caught him. It did not end well.”


    Another said: “Killings between Coolock and Ballymun in Howth.”




    Every summer now at the first sight of sunshine, the scummy good for nothing wasters from places like Coolock and Ballymun invade the respectable environs of Howth, create mayhem and get each other pregnant.

    The most shocking thing about the article above is the bit that says " no arrests were made."

    All of these useless scumbags should be locked up for disturbing the peace and the beach should closed off to all except the decent hard working taxpayers of Howth

    How does this make news? Its a yearly event at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,244 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Damn right. If they can't behave like normal human beings they should feck off back from whence they came. Absolute scum the lot of them.

    Remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST4-miKxFKw

    Pity the armed detectives didn't draw down on the lot of them, scare the little knacker class into submission.

    Same every year. Only seems to be certain beaches easily accessible from the shanty towns that attract them like flies on sh!t year in year out once the big yellow thing in the sky appears.

    Forecast for sunshine should be good news for people living at the beach. Sadly in places like Portmarnock and Howth they dread it for good reason.

    Oh btw the drinks industry have a lot of blame to take here as well.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    How do you get to decide who can use the beach on a person by person basis though, that's pretty impossible

    Going from that vid most of them seem to be teenyboppers that cannot hold their drink and want to act aggressive to impress their mates. I did chuckle at some of the little 14-16 year olds needing to be "held back" by friends . I don't think they would fair well against a corn fed garda from the sticks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    I'm always amazed how the Gardai seem to find stopping something like this so difficult.

    It's pretty simple really, zero tolerance policy for the following;

    - Underage drinking: No id = booze down the drain.
    - Public intoxication: You're drunk = You're in the cells for the night.
    - Anti social behavior: Acting the maggot = Back of the van for you.

    If they followed something like this there would be no trouble at all.

    You can't blame an entire industry for the irresponsible antisocial actions of a few scumbag scobies in shiny tracksuits.

    Rather than putting the taxpayers to good use like this, the government will think of some other ****e to spend it on.

    Long drawn out tribunal anyone, sure why the **** not!!

    Wish I'd known in advance, I'd love to be a spectator to such buffoonerie.

    If anyone out there has footage of said events please upload it and leave a link so I can amuse myself of these young street urchins injuring one another from the comfort of my boudoir.

    Woohoo!!

    That's a good idea. Imo, it shouldn't be put on a permanent record, but still a good idea.

    No of course not.

    I'm talking about just removing them from the situation, release them the next day without charge unless they've done something really bad.

    They might be a bunch of useless good for nothing wasters but at least they have some pride in where they go.


    Who the hell would want to go to Bray?

    Aside from pouring the drink out this wouldn't work. One kid gets hurt getting dragged into the back of the van/car and he's suddenly the equivalent of a prince. You can bet his parents will give a damn about the little **** then.

    Resisting arrest should cover everything including the broken nose.

    Nah, the answer is not to nuke the beaches, clearly the answer is to nuke the sun.

    If scummy jnr claims he gets hurt, have doctor test him for drugs and alcohol. If test proves positive, charge scummy snr with child neglect.

    Guards should have learned how to control these situations by now before they get to the out of control stage.

    Garda did a good job in herding them all back onto the DART and out of Howth - took about 50mins for them to clear the place of the scumbags. When you see 16yr old girls walking down howth in bikinis and platform shoes followed by shirtless skinny scumbags carrying cases of Bud and bottles of Huzzar you just know there's going to be trouble. I'd like to see more arrests next time and a faster response time from Garda - they were streaming out of the train station for a good hour and a half before it all kicked off! Knackers ruined a lot of people's day today!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭pjproby


    I was there. It seemed more like hundreds of kids possible as many as a thousand. The Gardai, seven cars and one van, cleared the pier and while they were doing this, by literally walking them down the pier, the fight erupted nearer the other pier. The guards did confiscate booze but one wrong move by them would have led to a full scale riot. They handled it very well from what I saw, But I left very quickly. the kids did not seem drunk at that stage-approx 4pm.

    I was there and it didn't seem that bad to me at that time, about 4 pm. If it were so bad where are the photos or the videos?

    I get the impression the Gardai cause some of this by controlling drinking on sutton beaches and banning the dart from stopping there. It heads to howth. Then misery. Then with hundreds of teenagers being corralled back to the station something kicks off and it gets exaggerated on social media.

    Hard to know what to do. Nobody I saw was drunk, or too hostile but I can see why families would be intimidated.

    At least the mostly decent people of Coolock and Ballymun are getting a day's break.

    If they were fighting, it's a bit different. I agree I have absolutely no time for people who think young people simply hanging out in a large group shouldn't be allowed to do so, but if there's violence and aggression involved then by all means arrest the lot of them.

    My best moment on boards 51 weeks ago
    Since the sun put its hat on Dublin has seen riots on a beach in Portmarnock, a gang of feral youths in near Dalkey smash up some poor chaps car while he was in it, that same gang terrorise passengers on a bus and last night a train was invaded by louts on the journey between Pearse Street Station and Maynooth. Blood was spilt before the Guards arrived.

    Rather than wring our hands at the horror of it all, is it time to just acknowledge
    that there is a strata of society that will never be reformed regardless of best intentions and state spending and that sterilisation of the Skanger class is the best way forward. It won't catch all the bad genes but certainly a large % will be wiped out without killing anyone.

    Ireland fares OK in police numbers.
