Why do they deserve to jump the cue over anyone else?

The same reason they get special treatment when it comes to taxing their car, or paying a fine, or tresspassing or refuse to wear a mask,...or... or.... or. The never ending list of sh1t thats overlooked.

Its easier to let them off and do what they want than deal with them.

From the day they're born all they do is cause the rest of us hassle and cost us money. Free healthcare, Free education including all clothes and books, free housing, free legal aid, etc. etfcukingcetera.

Honestly i imagine (just my guess) that a small number of Gardai made the decision that there was no peaceful way to deal with a quite frankly very large number of less than peaceful individuals.

The potential consequences and risks of forceful removal outweighed the risks of leaving it go.

Sure its sickening and we would love to see the foot put down but it was probably the sensible option.

These are the questions Mr. Justice Keenan Johnson wants answered and he will decide on the repercussions.

A list of names was handed to the court including those of the bride and groom, marquee supplier Ventura Limited and the catering company.

Judge Keenan Johnson directed they appear before a special sitting of the court on Monday at 2pm.

Will the happy couple interrupt their honeymoon to enlighten M’Lud?

The owner of the marquee (Ventura Marquee Hire) will explain that he has been striving day and night to pay his taxes after he found himself, due to an unfortunate and most regrettable oversight, on the Revenue defaulters list

Tune in next Monday.

Looks like they're being targeted as one of the first groups to receive the J&J vaccines too.

Why do they deserve to jump the queue over anyone else?

I think the main point behind them getting the J&J vaccine is that they are less likely than settled folk to come back for a second jab.

Considering how they had a high level of COVID cases in their community it should go a long way towards reducing our national case numbers so don't be getting too outraged at the idea

I should also say they're looking to vaccinate the homeless with this vaccine first.

Homeless I can get behind, the others I cannot. They make a choice to be the way they are, homeless rarely do.

Well thats on them if they are less likely to return for a second jab, they shouldn't jump the queue because it suits them.

So they act the ejit with restrictions then think their irresponsible behavior should entitle them to it first to ease things.

Homeless people have no choice, and Id be happy to see those vulnerable to receive it first.

The Traveler community should wait until its their turn, like everyone else.

I get that, scientifically it makes sense to vaccinate the communities where cases are high to cut transmission but politically it's suicide because it looks like they are rewarding bad behaviour but numbers would crash

If they don't return for second jabs then we could get wasted doses that could otherwise go into peoples arms, which one is worse in your books?

Ireland is a very very weak country, where the cowardly Garda run from travelers , yet will harass and abuse the old and vulnerable .

Has there been any explanation from the football club who I assume permitted the marquee to be erected on their land? I've not heard a sausage about this aspect of this appalling carry on.

Already video footage doing the rounds on social media of the event in full swing. Not alone did this shower put their numerous two fingers up to those adhering to the law, their arrogance and contempt on full view via social media, I'm sure their proud of themselves.

It's tricky because of they move in hard then the next day there will be a lot of "feedback" from Pawee and other NGOs about the fascist Gardaí..
Gardaí need direction from the top, Martin or Stephen Donnelly saying "We don't care if you have a wedding, break it up anyway".

In the UK you see Police entering travelers sites and dragging their man out by the hair on his head, in Ireland the Guards are cowards and run the other way. It's quite comical.

This is just bull. When you have large number of people like this it is very hard to control its better to contain and follow up after with fines etc

hustlenbustle

I hope they do follow up with fines - if anyone else on this island did this they'd be fined for sure! Somehow I have my doubts it will happen here. One law for us and another one for them.

Maybe people went to the marquee thinking it was where they were to get their "priority list" vaccinations.

Can we name and shame the club or have the media named them yet?
I think every person in this country should write a complaint to the club secretary.

So do ya reckon people are more likely to just copy this going forward or less likely?

Idk about Louth....but I do know Longford and it's a definitely depressing town....
it's really noticeable the amount of doctor's surgeries in Longford along with chemist shops ...must be alot of sick people there....added to the fact alot of shops are closed on the main street....not a good look at all.
Longford is a place to pass through....quicker the better.

I believe the land/gaa club was Council owned hence them taking the injunction to have it removed.

In fairness a handful of oldies and a priest vs a crowd of 200 well sauced travellers and handy with the fisticuffs. No comparison.

Try breaking that up without a few heads cracked open. They don't play by our rules.

They are like 18th and 19th century Irish who didn't give a sh1t about law or peelers and hammered the crap out of each other at fairs.

Armed riot squad and handcuff them into the paddywaggon. I wouldn’t waste a dog on them. Impound and crush all their cars while being booked and waiting for their toasted bacon butties and litte of coke for the cell.
They’re afraid of the german cops - no **** with them - caravans, cars, everything towed and taken. We’ve been allowing them be let off for years. Should be a judicial review on this whole farce - and where is CAB???? As always - where is CAB and Social Welfare Inspectors and Revenue? Maybe they’ll read this and start digging.

Don't blame the individuals for working in such a restricted system. In a world where video footage is heavily edited before being put on Youtube and its followers demanding the personal details of individual gardaí to harass them - not to mention the every increasing oversight bodies being introduced to monitor garda behaviour - is it really cowardly to not risk your career despite you doing what you think is in the interest of justice?

Do you think management and politicians would have backed individual gardaí going in and shutting this party down with batons drawn? This is the country that deemed Abbeylara a wrong doing by the guards despite international observers saying they were too soft.

Sure many would have supported the outcome in theory - but just wait for the edited videos and claims of police brutality; which would lead to months of stress for those guards while they're being investigated and their careers potentially destroyed with a chance of prosecution based on misinformation.

Unless politicians are willing to take a hard stance on crime and support the vast majority of honest and hard working gardaí then we're only going to see more and more of this softly softly approach.
