    Is it sh*te. Not a peep out of you on any other high-profile breaking of restrictions that has been reported all year.

    Oh, except for a funeral in Carrick-on-Shannon.

    Name one that had 200 people in a marquee, defend them all you like, and the more people that take the side of the poor misfortunates, the more the do what the like.

    Yes, the whingers on here are motivated by racism. If 200 settled people attended a wedding, there would be no thread.

    However, fúck anyone who feels the need to congregate in large groups when we've still got >300 new cases per day.

    The only mention of racism is yourself. Not too many windows in your glass house.

    Funeral in Wexford. Between 200-300 people gathered in a marquee and it turned into a super-spreader event. One of the sons of the deceased woman eventually contracted COVID and died.

    Not a sign of faux-outrage from you on that particular occasion. People are gathering in large crowds at beaches up and down the country and you suddenly are either:

    1. oblivious
    2. ignorant

    Don't tell me this is about COVID-19 restrictions, because you only take issue when it involves the travellers.

    You're the second poster that has said I'm defending this. Point out to me where I said this was ok. I never. I'm just calling you out for your own faux-outraged hypocrisy.

    It's society's fault for not understanding them. We should be ashamed of ourselves, look at ourselves long and hard in the mirror for judging them and their beautiful culture and heritage.

    Glazers Out!

    I'd love to contribute, but this particular topic has led to me being banned on numerous occasions in the past. It's the only topic that gets me banned in fact. Whatever it is about marquees, I always say something to upset the mods.

    Plenty of people giving out about that as well I think?
    But it's slightly different people sitting in small groups in the open air....and hundreds of people in an enclosed space for hours...

    Garda Superintendent Jim Delaney said attempts by officers to engage with both the wedding organisers and the owner of the marquee had failed.

    "We liaised with both families and the marquee owner and served them with written copies of the current State Covid-19 public health guidelines but both chose not to engage with us."

    So that's it, then?

    GARDA: "Lads, will yiz move it on there now please?"
    UPSTANDING MEMBER OF SOCIETY: "No, boss, we won't. We've a hape a pints to down here".
    GARDA: "Ah ok, sorry 'bout that. Carry on".

    I can't imagine this happening in any other country. The Gardaí need to be armed for this sort of thing. Give them three warnings, then if they still "choose not to engage", shoot the f....ers. That's the only thing scumbags will understand. That goes for anyone giving the two fingers to society in such a blatant manner.

    Water canon is a good idea. Why did the gardai back down, why didnt they call in reinforcements? It makes a mockery of the law and the rest of us who abide by the law. No doubt the media will be quiet with no mention of the ethnicity of the group involved but tomorrow if one of the same ethnic group achieves something even if not extraordinary the media will be full of it.

    You'd hope the media go into this in detail tomorr. It's completely unacceptable. Who the hell organised this wedding.

    Can you not see the difference with this one.

    The Garda spoke to the organisers yesterday and told them to stop, but the carried on.

    Then the had to get a court order to stop it, but too afraid to enforce it, so the carry on.

    Remined me again where something like this has happened before.

    What would be the point? . We all know the craic.

    Martin Collins will appear on the radio at some stage whinging about double standards and ethnic something or other and that'll be the end of it until the next time.

    These shower of f*cks do what the like as usual, and get away with as usual.

    Where is Pavee Point this evening,

    This has being going on since yesterday and the first I heard of it was on the 9pm news.

    Pavee Point will have nothing to say on this, god forbid they'd criticise a Cultural gathering of their own.

    Its just beyond extraordinary, Garda resources dedicated to supervising the removal of an enormous Marquee. They further made a statement stressing the 4 E"s where deployed in dealing with this disgraceful gathering.

    I've a 5th E and it's Eejits the lot of them and of course not so much as gentle whisper will be raised for fear of being accused of being discriminatory.

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    Ah so one gathering of over 200 people is 'different' to another gathering of over 200 people.

    Funny how you called for one that didn't involve travelers and when I pointed one out to you, you shifted the goalposts and said it's 'different'.

    Flouting restrictions is flouting restrictions. Suddenly it's gone from this happening in the first place to 'oh look how they spoke to the guards'.

    Yes, it is a disgrace, just like the one in Wexford. However you are fooling absolutely nobody here.

    Just own it. Say you started this because you hate the travelers and nothing else.

    How could you really enjoy it? I'd spend the entire time waiting for the police to show up to hit me with a fine. I wouldn't be able to enjoy myself at all.

    The police? You watching too much Dallas. What guard is going to square up to you after downing 12 cans of Guinness and starting on the whiskey.
