Teenager and child shot in Dublin halting site

    You regard halting sites as "first class accommodation"...:D:D

    Travellers in the area near where I'm from were given 6 or so houses, brand new, next to a shopping centre. They've been burned down more times than I can remember, always burnt out cars there, shopping trolleys all over the place, rubbish duped wherever they like around the area. Anyone who knows Nutgrove would know where I'm talking about.

    Except it has happened and the child didn't die. I'm not sure what this pissing contest is about really. That traveler scumbags are worse than settled scumbags?

    Well they seem to regard living there as first class as houses don't appeal to them.

    They dont pay bin charges or electricity.

    Why are they allowed not pay when others have too?

    they aren't. the ESB have the facilities availible to remove electricity if they don't pay.
    One rule for them and another for settled profile.

    Hush hush now say nothing....

    they are subject to the same rules as us. whether those rules are enforced on them or not is an issue but they are subject to the same rules.

    Any further babies taken into care.

    not financially viable and would likely breach some international and other human rights law.

    Children should never be subjected to any adult drama and certainly never violence.

    Feeling a bit desensitised hearing news about shootings at this stage, becoming way too common.

    It’s a sort of war dance.
    “ I’m so angry and frustrated about the grave injustice visited on my family and I that feel I want to strip to the waist and bare knuckle fight any male member of the other family to the death in order to assuage my feelings of fury. Please note how well built I am and how fearsome I look. Verily, I say unto you, I demand satisfaction !”.
    For a man, hours and hours day after day after month after year of doing absolutely nothing ( wouldn’t tidy up the area wouldn’t put a lick of paint on the house wouldn’t pick up the kids broken toys) have to be filled in some way, and creating an imaginary war with another family is quite time consuming, that’s why there’s so many feuds.

    There's far higher numbers of settled people in Ireland, and I haven't heard of any cases like this over here before. And a lot more firepower than a shotgun? I'd hazard the majority of Irish gun owners have hunting rifles, not an awful lot more firepower than a shotgun in any case.

    Are you talking out your arse or can you back any of that up?

    Fcuking hell, what chance has that child got?

    And I can't help but wonder whether Tulsa would be acting on a child in a more traditional setting who's parents were involved in a feud which could and indeed has brought about violence, and if so why not in this case. It's the only chance this child is likely to get.

    I wouldn't agree with you there, Philly.
    Apart from Drug Dealers and their ongoing territory wars, shootings over arguments/slights etc are very rare in the settled community.
    Now they (Travellers) usually attack each other physically or with edged weapons, with the machete and the slashhook being favourite, but gun attacks are far from unknown.

    Now come on, you had to go back to 2015 to find that one.

    You can't just leave out the drug dealers when talking about the settled community, they are a part of the settled community whether we like it or not. And the facts don't lie, they've killed far more people this year than travellers have.

    Just on this, having worked for one of the suppliers for a long time and sitting near the sales and revenue team I always got wind of the goings on, disconnections on halting sites required numerous visits usually and a cost for extra crew plus local Gardai. If the Guards didn't accompany the crew the disconnection often didn't happen. Also we had many cheques from the HSE clearing debts. Most of this big debts were ran up due to interference with meters rather than just non payment of bills also, magnets, dangerous bypassing and physically smashing the esb meters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,237 ✭✭✭✭Nekarsulm


    So I had to go back 2 years to find a Traveller shooting at a wedding? Can you find me a similar example of a murder at a wedding of regular settled people?
    Can you fnd examples of settled people bring slash hooks to funerals?
    Considering Travellers make up only a half of 1% of the population, there should be hundreds of examples for you to choose from.
    I exempted drug dealers from the equation, because they are criminals first and foremost.
    99.9% of settled people are not criminals.

    A strong magnet, placed on the side of a meter, can slow it down and reduce the number of units showing on the meter as having been used.
    Usually found out when the culprit miscalculated the date, and forgets to remove it before the meter man arrives to take a reading!

    The misfortunate baby that was shot is this chaps nephew (i.e. his twin brothers son).
    Who is reported to be 17.
    With the mother is reported to be 29.


    Was there a statutory sexual assault there i wonder.

    OK, so you don't like the fact that I didn't include the Kinnehan/Hutch type feud into the general settled population, when comparing with the Traveller population tendency for violent array.
    Can you explain away this statistic.
    Travellers are 0.6 of 1% of the population of Rep. of Ireland.
    Traveller males are 10% of the male prison population.
    Traveller women are 22% of the female prison population.

    Those figures are from the Probation Service, in case you think I made them up.

    And his reason for doing that would be ???? Genuinely have no idea!

    This gentleman was to be seen on the RTE News clip last night,shouting abuse in the direction of the camera.
    It appeared to be more about the presence of the media than the actual violent event.
    What is most perplexing about this scenario,is the apparent suggestion that some form of soft-mediation be engaged in before,or instead of a proper criminal investigation.
    If the authorities concede this principle in relation to this group,then a very dangerous precedent will have been set.

    It's not that I didn't like anything but if you're going to compare then compare properly. These Kinahan-Hutch types you refer to are 'settled people' so need to be included in comparisons. I'm not sticking up for travellers here, I think they are the cause of many/all of their own problems and happily hide behind culture and so called racism when in actual fact they do not want to integrate or be part of a society of mutual respect.

    Suppliers have to get the ESB to do it, it's not always done, in fact it's hardly ever done on halting sites and all the while the bills are going up and up until eventually it's done or the bill is paid by the HSE or DSP.

    Some halting sites are now having the bills paid by the CoCo who have had to install check meters inside locked steel cabinets. The lengths companies and coco's are having to go to to stop electricity and gas being interfered with on halting sites is laughable

    Because IMO
    - most Irish people have exposure to the negative aspects of Traveller culture

    - they aren't a separate race to majority, it's a cultural difference*

    - there is massive issues in the culture

    - travellers are very traditionally Irish Catholic in a lot of ways also from what I have seen they tend to be fairly vocal of their dislike of the other groups that boards deems protected classes e.g LGBTQ, other religions, non-white people.

    - traveller stuff isn't " trendy" in Ireland

    I'm fairly politically incorrect and not arguing for tighter moderation but the constrast is interesting between them and other groups.

    * Which leads to the questions like. If an American dislikes African-American culture but is fine with Africans immigrants is that racism?the two groups have very different socio-economic outcomes after all

    It's incredibly hard for mods to be consistent because there are so many and they don't have the exact same opinions. They do their best but it's a tough gig. I do take your point though.

    i believe in enforcing the law as well. i have been saying it needs to be enforced for years. however, the mediation may also help in de-escalating a situation, so i have no problem on money being spent on it.

    Counselling and Mediation services do not come cheaply,and are often priced at a level which puts them far beyond those who are most in need of them.

    It would also be interesting to find out of there are any Counsellors or Mediators with Traveller specific backgrounds,as given the,supposedly unique,aspects of Traveller Culture which regularly culminate in "feuds" around the State.

    Unless Counselling/Mediation is being provided pro-bono,then cash is most definitely an issue in this.

    Lol you haven’t read much of the Jew hating threads on boards they run and run, until certain anti-Semite gets challanged he reports the post and the thread eventually gets shutdown due the hurt feelings of said individual!
    As for this traveller situation no doubt somebody from one of these rival families is going to pay with their lives, unless the Guards tackle the issue and arrest the main culprits!

    Counselling and Mediation services do not come cheaply,and are often priced at a level which puts them far beyond those who are most in need of them.

    It would also be interesting to find out of there are any Counsellors or Mediators with Traveller specific backgrounds,as given the,supposedly unique,aspects of Traveller Culture which regularly culminate in "feuds" around the State.

    Unless Counselling/Mediation is being provided pro-bono,then cash is most definitely an issue in this.

    That's still not 'giving them money', letting then shoot the arse off one another all over the city and having guards waste time sitting outside halting sites will cost a lot more. The mediation will cost a lot less than the cost of the technical bureau, the armed units and hospital spaces used yesterday
