Longford travellers in major row on towns main Street.

Bishop of hope

Rival traveller families were involved in a very viilent row on the main street of Longford Town this morning, brandishing hand held weapons and throwing bricks and bottles as ordinary men women and children had to flee or dodge for their own safety.
Something has to be done before someone gets killed.

At least they've moved on From Aldi.

We must protect our indigenous culture at all costs. Especially that of the taxpayer.

Pavee point will be on to tell us that it was settled folk and how dare they speak out of traveling people in such a manner...

Travellers that don't travel and are constantly speaking out of how they aren't provided housing but yet they are it's just they tend to destroy and burn most of these properties....

Nutgrove had amazing newly built detached homes 2 destroyed, 1 done up and destroyed again so both stand as shells for the last many years.....

Amazing country how is tax paying fools fund these thugs, drug dealers, robbers and plain old spongers.

Pavee Point will scurry into the undergrowth, only to re-emerge when the "racism" cry is heard.

Ah yes the Irish people are actually racist against them, I heard that been spouted out on the radio by the pavee point CEO or leader whatever he was during the week....

What an absolute numpty.

That's pretty bad regardless of who is involved.

Isn't that the infamous "Razor Blade alley" where they are fighting?

Aye, it's their rat run.
It's just outside the post office there, not hard to guess what they're there for.

Terrible shame we can't stick them all in some sort of thunderdome and let them at it. You could sell tickets, a way for them to pay back the money that's been wasted on them over the generations. Last man standing gets a foreva home for himself and his 25 kids complete with stables.

Sure why else would you throw bricks at each other? Why else would you have feuds between families that are solved with slash hooks? Racism of course!

Before Lincoln set the slaves free in America all they did was hurl bricks at each other and burn down their own houses.

Can't we just rehouse them on an island somewhere

LineOfBeauty

I don't think a Hunger Games situation is the answer, though it is disgraceful behaviour and just basically flaunts how little they think of the laws of this land that they can get away with doing something like this in public and there's no consequences for it.

A different island with no real people on it
One island for these problems, and another island for the junkies.
Keep Ireland free of the social problems brought by both groups

Could just get the single mothers and their children to shoot them all.

Longford is such a nice Market town, shame to see such shenanigans.

I'm suspicious though, that video looked to be taken around 9am, at the start of the working day.

Something doesn't add up.

What's the deal with Longford and Drogheda? I just constantly hear about this kind of thing happening in those two towns in particular.
Both of them have issues with travellers but also other members of society.
Are those towns really that bad? I've not been to ether in many years.

Wait till Christmas week and the towns are taken over by flashy motors

KWAG2019

A personal rant: why are these incidents always called “unsavory”? Is there a menu or something?

I might check out Rathkeale this year since I'm not too far away. I hear it's a real spectacle.

You know it's bad when young traveller girl with kid is seen running away from it

Jokers they are. But the SJW will be along soon to say they are mis-understood etc etc

Once the armed unit of the Garda do their job again this year it should be ok.

Well they must be with monstrous monuments in sites closest to the road there south of the town. They cannot cry poverty considering these may cost the price of a small new car

Is a golden age for stonemasons in Longford

100s of thousands spent on graves....

Not sure about Drogheda but Longford Town is and always was a total kip, mostly because of the people who live there.

They'd be back up to full population within the breeding lives of the children

There are a few bad elements in it for sure, but mostly there are a lot of decent hard working people in it.
It's just got to the stage though with drugs and night fights and traveller feuds that the decent element rarely go out in the town.
There does seem to be a serious lack of visible policing on the streets, maybe that's just me, but it's not common to see gardai on foot patrol around the town. Maybe that's due to numbers and I know they can't be everywhere.
But lately there have been stabbings and a lot of street violence in the town

Nothing wrong with a bit of home grown culture. If any innocent bystander had got hurt well it would have been very racist of them.

In an ideal world, the state would implement some integration program for travellers and start it from a very early age. They could give them monetary incentives to stay in school, to become members of the workforce and not be a general burden.

However, the ridiculous decision to give them "Ethnic" status means they and their "culture" are pretty much untouchable.

IAMAMORON

I just realised that this is a traveller bashing thread... about travellers bashing each other!! :pac::pac:

Woo Hooo !!! boom! boom!

Completely disagree. Longford town has great people. The law have allowed travellers to run riot in the town. Give them Mickey mouse sentences & they keep fighting. The traveller culture is the problem in Longford.
