    Straight to race then will complain about being called a racist.

    It's odd that this is considered newsworthy. Taxi drivers are getting robbed all the time. How many incidents are we talking about if it hits national news and taxi drivers are pulling out of an area? Hard to tell if the issue is being inflated or the reporting is just poorly describing the issue.

    There's only a description given of one incident and suspects from that incident. There's nothing in the linked article to support that claim or the headline.

    It's a safe haven for all kinds of pondlife these days. The way of the future I guess.

    I've a black brother & sister both in their 50s and both born and bred Irish. Ever hear of Phyl lynott? Paul MaGrah?

    You need to take a long look at yourself if you see black and asume they are none nationals.

    Edit : maybe a thread title change is in order

    They said reportedly black alright.

    Any links on the non-national thing or is that just the assumption?

    If you actually read the article in the OP, it says it:

    "The two suspects in the latest attack in Clonee are described as being black teenagers. Anyone with any information is being urged to contact Blanchardstown garda station"

    Edit:I just realised what you are looking for. You're right that it does not make any mention of non nationals.

    People have been doing ditches on Taxis for as long as there have been taxi's.
    But there is a gang problem in that part of Dublin at the moment but have heard nothing of them ripping off taxi drivers.
