That's what happens when homeowners can't defend themselves or property.

They can. Why would you say they can't?

These problems replicate anywhere you have too many social houses, house members of the travelling community or have too many mothers and not enough fathers about.

Intergenerational welfare dependence Has led us here.

Kid videoing is hilarious.

That's horrendous. What's the background to all this? When I was growing up in Tallaght those youngfellas would have felt the smack of a hurl, or worse, pretty quickly.

Not sure if it’s the worse but a couple of observations, those are damn fine strong windows, and the kid filming sounds about 6 years old and done an excellent job.

their rights!

Anyone know what the reason behind the attck on these two specific houses was? (If any)

Heres Johnny

Would it be fair to say that some of those people settled into that estate? Looks like a nice settled neighbourhood

Drugs I believe

Allegedly one lad hit another lad with a hammer and this is the retaliation. Drugs not travellers is the word on the street.

Two men were injured amid the prolonged disturbance before cops were called to the scene and dispersed the large group.

Last night local councillors told how the mayhem erupted following a dispute among youths.

Fine Gael rep Andrew Duncan told us: “It all kicked off with a bunch of youths fighting — 13 and 14-year-olds fighting — and it escalated into adults getting involved.

"It is dragging the whole estate down. It can’t be allowed.”

The chaos, which erupted on Thursday, led to damage running into thousands of euro after doors and windows were broken in a number of houses.

John Donoghue, 39, of Abbeylands, Mullingar,
Martin Scally 36, and Dean Donoghue, 21, both of Farran Ashe, Mullingar,
appeared in court last night.

Inbreeding and lack of intelligence

No doubt joe and Josephine soap will be called on to cover the costs of repair or maybe even relocate the residents to brand new houses.

No background really it seems, mindless stuff.

Home owners is a big stretch there..... Council property so we tax paying fools will foot the bill.....

It's obvious none of them work and never have.

Rubber or plastic bullets wouldn't be enough for these vermin!

what can we expect? where are the facilities for these youths? the state needs to vastly increase social welfare payments.

I feel sorry for the 95% of people who live in those estates who want to live in peace but are living in fear of those types of animals

If you can't live in a house behaving in a civilised way you should be removed from society permanently

jim salter

This should be treated the same as a riot. Bring in the riot unit.

Disgusting behaviour that is being protected by those championing the rights of this 'ethnic minority'....what they always seem to forget with the rights is the responsibilities.

Alrigghtythen

I dont think it's the worst estate. There is many just as bad or worse unfortunately.

2 Gardai sent to that, I'm sure more after but that's not on only 2 going into that.

True, I mean one sandwich doesn’t make a picnic.

Riot unit should go in

then all involved sentenced to life imprisonment

I know I’m a broken record on this but We need major changes to our sentencing laws and prison system also

Mike3287

Dont see the shock here?

Its normal traveller behaviour, many many estates in the country are like this.

Its just never reported by media and RTE upper classes pretend it doesn't exist.

You cant drive a car it into most traveller saturated estates in Ireland without a gang of 5 year olds surrounding and firing stones at your car

They will grow up to be useless just like parents, feel bad for the decent people living in these estates, I was one of them.

GerryFog

Not close to being the worst. There's estates in Dublin much worse.

Even Cappagh Road, has some nice houses in the estates but an absolute kip. The heads around the Macaris at night are a sight to behold.

That's normal behaviour for them.

Just on your comment on 5 year olds - last thurs I was driving past a notorious estate in a town in mid Kildare - as you say, under 10 years old lined up on the green firing stones/cans/anything they can lay their hands on, at passing traffic.

A heavily obese man approx 40/45 drinking cans watching on, no doubt the grand dad of some of the brats.

Sad to see even under 10s are now indoctrinated into the culture of this cohort - vandalise, damage, break up, Rob, steal, then graduate into heavy drug use serious attacks and murder and this often ends up in suicide.

But , we are sternly lectured, this is society’s fault

Eric Cartman

The worst thing is, you watch the video and see all those kids battering the house and know that you have to get up and go to work tomorrow to pay 50% of your earnings to keep those kids fed and fix that house.

It’s beyond frustrating. Sometimes the American system seems much fairer to those who are prepared to work hard and play by society’s rules

Covid 19 is not necessarily a bad thing

I'd disagree. For the size of Dublin and the amount of wasters around i think you'd be hard pressed to find that kind of carry on. Dublin, even the dumps are over priced now so apart from the free gaf crowed you generally have to buy a house now.

What do you do though? You have to house them somewhere.

Believe me lads things would be a lot worse of we just cut them off altogether. Give them just enough to keep some what of a lid on there scummy behaviour.

yeah, id say the only thing those two could do is stand back. Couldnt ask two gardai to try seperate two groups with weapons.

Lack of facilities/boredom/nothing to do is an excuse used by people who are ****e parents.

I grew up in a council house in Tallaght, no playground or community centre around. I grew up fine. I had friends, a bike, a football and some toy cars. Why would we need anything else?

Years after we moved from the area they built a fancy large community centre, nicer than the one in the estate I live now, far away from any council estate.

If there was more facilities these scum wouldn't use them. They'd be hanging around the parks drinking or standing outside the shop harassing people as usual. You think people are scumbags because they didn't have a playground as a baby?

unhappys10

Simple solution. Guards pull up, uzi out the window, scum 0-1 society.

Lundstram

They aren't one bit scared of the Gardaí. Our police force are way too nice to these wasters.

This 100%.

There are some areas of Derry that have plenty of money thrown at them.
They get the play parks, facilities, football pitches etc etc.

But some are destroyed, anti-social behaviour commonplace.

Sometimes scum will just be scum.

A few guards with batons would be the only job here.
