Longford travellers in major row on towns main Street.

According to Shannonside News:

Yesterday evening at a special sitting of Longford District Court..... four of the eleven applied for bail and were refused, with others consenting to remain in custody on the back of that decision.


No names mentioned.
Wonder were RTE there - doubt it. A strange time for a special sitting, only 2 days after Christmas. It's well over a week since they were arrested. Must have been something else keeping the national broadcaster busy.
Still locked up so at least there's that.
Charged with violent disorder; I presume ethnic minorities get a discount on whatever tariff is levied on that particular charge.

Insert first name before Connors, Joyce or McInerney and you should have at least one of them.

I’m no fan of criminality, but the whole anti traveler topic has been done to death on this forum. It’s the same sh!t repeated by the same echo chamber on an almost weekly basis. “Sterilization, blah, blah, blah, parasites, blah, blah, dole, blah, free houses, blah, blah, stealing.......”.

Regardless of the veracity of the argument for the live of God give it a rest.

Thank you 😊

If you don't like the topic maybe don't post on it!! Nothing compelling you.

Lots of place in Ireland for everybody, no one should have special ethnic status granted though, that's racist in itself.
And all law breakers should face the same consequences, no allowance for their ethnic status or not.

Some more on this

Agreed - you can't have this nonsense AND aspire to be a republic.

We need to decide. I myself want a republic with equal rights and responsibilities for all.

all i managed to see what 3 ejits talking outside a house to another rival ejit. one of them of course wearing shorts in winter, what is the story with them always wearing shorts? do they think they are in jamacia or something?

Shorts in winter isn’t just a traveller thing.

All sorts are doing it and around here they mainly hang out in Dunnes.

It is quite grotesque.

What is it with the machetes these days?

What is wrong with a kitchen knife or a length of wavin pipe? Or with just something lying around near by?

This is what is wrong with society - our thugs are spoiled.

I happened to be passing by the courthouse when 2 of them were coming out..wonder what happened, when there was a large garda presence. Then to see the crowd that gathered on the opposite side, cheering them on and screaming like they were some celebrity...
Makes you ashamed to be living in that town....

I saw 2 young traveller kids no more than 10 or 11 robbing drink in a Tesco one night. I reported them to the staff and they got them before they left the shop. Met the security guard a few days later and he told me they had about 900 quid worth of booze!! The father was outside the front door dressed resplendently in his finest tracksuit.
Met the security man a few weeks later and he told me they returned and got away with over a grands worth of booze!!
What hope do you have when your parents are actively coaching you to steal?

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

I was born and bred in Longford and I assure you that the traveller feuds are certainly not a new phenomenon - the only thing different is the families involved. My grandparents are buried in Ballymacormack near the traveller plots and I can tell you that cemetery Sunday is no picnic!

Drugs, violence, stabbings were going on in the 90s and probably before that too.

It's a shame that all the positive things happening around the town and county - the canal walkway, Center Parcs etc, is being forgotten about because of this

I'm also from Longford. Back years ago the feuding was kept to a few estates. Not it's anywhere they meet. Churches, Lidl car park, outside the dole office, Mullingar hospital.

The whole culture is rotten. The macho crap, the way they treat women. Its the politicians fault for been afraid to call them out.

They should be treated the exact same way as the gangsters in Limerick.

99% of men wearing shorts in winter are travellers.

I remember when a load of houses were built off St Michael's Road specifically for travellers (probably during the 90s) and they were absolutely trashed before anyone ever moved into them.
As you rightly say, these incidents used to be confined to estates or halting sites but now they dont care. The only time you'd ever see a Garda presence is for funerals or sometimes weddings.

The gas thing is that some of the travellers in Longford are the nicest people you'd meet but as with any ethnicity/minority/majority all it takes a few bad eggs to ruin it for everyone...

Shur why not go home, your sentence is five years but it's suspended.

Send them en masse to Drogheda, the criminals will soon be thinking 'F**k this, I'm getting out of here!'

Disgusting!!!!!

He'll be up in court next yr/ yr1/2 for something else and NO jail. Judges taking the public for right mugs..

Meanwhile several poor fools up for something Mickey Mouse who have hardly ever seen the inside of a courthouse be read the riot act and told they're VERY lucky NOT to be going to JAIL; AND get a proper fine to boot in the intervening period- Not some f'd up e105 or some sh1t that tinkers with multiple convictions - usually females (seriously doubt they ever pay it either) get.

effing SICKENING :mad:

And what's with these e105 fines that I sometimes see in local gazettes/rags? Seems like a bloody strange amount..

Odelay

Isn’t it nice that they can do things as a family? So nice to have a family activity that all generations and sexes can take part in.

It's a demonstration of just how out of touch our judiciary are. 105 euro is (kind of) 100 guineas.

good on em

95% of the Irish don't either. Only problem is, the other 5% are rich people in power that don't (and will never) live near them and are pretending they're on a moral crusade

Thanks, never thought of that.

Maybe 20 years ago yeah with the Guineas thing though.. Punt's no longer the
currency.

Just rubbing our noses in it. The scum and the rich can do what they like (pretty much) in this Country.

And poor saps obliged to pay 3 or 400 euro to the "poor box" to avoid a conviction for something trivial like a bit of weed. Meanwhile junkie thievin'
scum are smoking it freely outside the kahrthouse in the shmoke on the regla "nd the gayrds don't moind cos it keeps us relaxd loike"

Election or Storms dont bother the Travellers of Longford and their feuds. Longford is going the way of Drogheda as travellers battle for control of the midlands cocaine trade.

Bishop of hope

Still more of this feuding, probably all related to your post Luas, this is the big house just beside the Dublin road roundabout.

I mentioned this one before. I used to be a barman, went into work to start my shift at seven and some clown had served two traveler women. I overheard a convo between them:

A: Come out tonight it'll be great craic
B: No no he's at home with the bab-y
A: Ahh come on out for the night
B: No no, I'll be bet
A: Sure take the baitin' tomorrow

Take the baitin', solid advice there.
