Which Healy Raes were in court this time?

Proper order. Travellers are getting to used to pulling the discrimination card every time someone disagrees with them and then looking for compensation.

maxwell smart

Took up smoking again due to the altercation.

I'm sure there is a grant she can apply for for that, otherwise it might be a case of discrimination!

Edgware

Fair play to the HR.s.

There’s clearly a pack of ambulance chaser type Solicitors encouraging all this rubbish as it’s usually so easy for them to win under our hair brained judicial system. Good to see some if this non sense nipped in the bud.

The Healy-Rae's are so cute they would rent the machinery out to the T's to tarmac the driveway

If only there was a way they both could’ve lost that case.

I always got a traveller vibe off the Healy Rae's. I'd say Danny is no stranger to bare knuckle boxing.

Fair fůcks to him, not many people are willing to stand up to them. They are holding this country to ransom, may this embolden a few more politicians to stand up and rein them in.

Never heard of Battles before, there's usually about a dozen surnames, one of which usually come up.

Shop worker aside, not particularly fond of either party in this case, it's like reading about a fall out between a Chelsea and a Rangers supporter.

The Healey Raes? Yes, yes they are...

Not. All. travellers.

Wasn’t there one a few years ago that did a degree. Granted 85% of them are unemployed(not sure what % of the remainder are on disability), and what is it; they make up 22% of the prison population.

But not all travellers.

Ms Battles - who attended the shop once a week - stated that as a result of what occurred she took up smoking again and was forced to seek help from the HSE.

Imagine the dialogue in the court.

Nevermind the Kerry accent , then you have the traveller accent and the weird mixture of farts, grunts and whistles of the dialect the Healy-Raes speak.

It's the exception that proves the rule and I've yet to see a serious effort, or indeed any effort, by these "blameless" travellers to divorce themselves from the mainstream. If they did I'm sure they would be welcome in settled society.
In my local town there are several traveller families who rarely cause any problems and they are treated with respect by the settled community, but for some inexplicable reason when Uncle Paddy or Aunt Brigid arrive in convoy with various cousins, the whole clan suddenly revert to type with caravans and campers parked indiscriminately and filth everywhere, it's like a switch being thrown. For weeks after the visitors leave the local families are restless and hard to deal with before gradually settling down again.
It really is intriguing to watch, it's like your family pet dog getting out one night and running with a pack to kill sheep.

She probably got inspiration from the clown in Dublin who sued a pub because the barman thought his tenner was fake and he won five grand in compensation. It was a ridiculous case and thankfully the judge in this one had more sense.

I remember about a year or so ago there was an article about the first traveller woman to get a PhD and her PhD was about travellers being discriminated against.

I can't imagine where she might have gotten the content from!
Oh, wait...

Would Healy Rae have had to pay his own solicitor? Therefore no one won if that was the case.

You can be sure the traveller wasn't out of pocket.

It said he went to her house and tried to sort it out too, which I thought was very decent.

People would sue for anything now. Any normal daily occurrence or butting of heads. She said she gave a 50, he said a 20 I believe. It got heated, and it's only natural it would if two strong personalities clash like that. Does this extend into damage and discrimination like this lady said? Do you really need to run through the machinations of state systems in to sort this out? Ffs.

A bit of common sense and decency wouldn't go astray.

I know the Healy Rae's play the gombeen cute hoor card very well. The Dublin versus rural Ireland. Oh I'm just a simple god fearing salt of the earth man, and the Kerry people lap it up. They do play this but I also do think Michael is a decent skin. The brother and some of the wider family, while not guilty of anything sinister, are definitely cute hoors. But listen, they were given this world, they didn't make it. Ireland is Ireland and all politics is local in Ireland, and especially Kerry. They are a unique people. The Healy Rae brand of politics is very effective. And they are not the only ones guilty, as no politician in this country has the balls to do what's right when it's right. A TD's job should be to do what's right for the country even when they are not appreciated for it, but they won't. Human nature to put the self interest above others, and politicians know that. They know the question on the door step is "what have you done for me". One significant example is the wages of public sector staff which should be slashed immediately and pensions cut, and no politician has the balls to enact a plan to do it.

I go by the cut of a man a lot and I have met Michael and Danny. Danny is a complete spoofer but Michael is a very decent and honest man. Not without his faults as any man is but ultimately a decent bloke who busts his bollix working so I'm delighted this fukcer hasn't swindled him out of anything.

Is Mrs Battles any relation to Mrs Cash?

Wasn't a Judge in the regular sense, it was the WRC. Too much to expect that the Court Judges might exercise a bit of cop on, that won't happen until someone has the balls to burst their bubble.

I'm surprised that wasn't spun as him trying to intimidate her.

The €50 note scam has been going on a while now .
They come into the shop holding a €50 , waving it about while at the till making sure that the cashier sees it . Then when the cashier takes payment a tenner is handed over in the hope that they will receive the change from €50 .
If the cashier is alert and only gives change from the tenner then they insist that a €50 was handed over .

Well said I agree totally

My delight at seeing a scammer foiled is tempered only by my dismay at seeing anything good happen to a Healy Rae.

When you see this coming the way to counteract it is to take the tenner hold it up and immediately say "will I take it all out of this tenner?".
