Fair play to him. Private clamping is a disgrace and all citizens should endeavour to resist them.

Not obeying the rules on someone's land youre visiting is a disgrace .

If you don't agree with their rules,youre free to not use their land.

Yet another gaff from an established SF member. These slip ups are getting more and more frequent. Mary-Lou and her associate in NI need to get rid of these boyos sooner rather than later.

On a side note, why would a politician have a bolt cutter in his car? Do many people carry them in their cars?

Yep, can't see how he cut the clamp without damaging it. If you have a key and you remove a clamp from a car, that's ok, interestingly enough.

Love the way the police/guards are on it like a shot if 'criminal damage' is done to a clamp. Yet if you reported criminal damage to your car they couldn't give a ****.

Klinkhammer · 04-02-2018 05:08PM

Fair play to him. Sinn Fein should work to outlaw these private clampers as a reaction to the complaint.

It's mental, the anti Sinn Feinn crowd will literally champion anyone from loyalist paramilitaries to car clampers to spite the party.brainwashed and amusing.

It's mental, the SF crowd will literally defend anything from child abuse and sectarian murder to damaging property for the sake of their party.

They won't. Too many potential voters in that line of work.

If he snipped the clamp that's criminal damage right there, regardless of whether he was on public or private property. If he dismantled the wheel, then no problem, from a criminal damage perspective.

Are they on it like a shot? ( it's the psni, this happened in Belfast), the clamping company reported it as a matter of course to the psni. The rest is the papers making a story. I doubt there's been an incident room set up with a board of evidence

This bit gave me a laugh

The party’s leader-elect Mary Lou McDonald, said she had “absolutely no idea” why Mr Kelly had a bolt cutters in his car.

I'm not a fan of Sinn Féin but clampers are the scum of the earth.

I say fair play to anyone who takes them on.

On the subject of clampers, if only every category of 'scum' in this world could be generally avoided by the simple act of reading parking signs or not parking like a cnut.

Not surprising to see somebody like that engaged in pointless Fight The Powah activities in lieu of a modicum of personal responsibility.

Honestly clampers/traffic wardens are hated but without them you literally would not be able to drive through the city! Even private property need some enforcement or it would be a free for all, if it was a private company Gerry will be done for criminal damage unless he managed to get it off without damaging it. The optics are terrible due to his roll on policing and justice boards, he really should know better.

I would've thought bolt cutters are standard issue to Shinner "community workers"

IRA men had TD's posters, CS gas, stun gun and balaclava

NOT for the first time has Aengus O Snodaigh's constituency operation come to national attention. But his €50,000 bill for printer ink cartridges will go down in the annals.

The Sinn Fein TD for Dublin South-Central is relatively low profile, even more so since the arrival of the new generation of Sinn Fein TDs in last year's general election.

He was one of the Sinn Fein TDs who made the breakthrough in the 2002 election, when the party's representation in the Dail increased from one to six.

Later that year, five men were arrested with vehicles containing a sledgehammer, balaclava, two-way radio, a stun gun, a CS gas canister, a blue flashing light, a beacon and a fluorescent jacket with the word 'Garda' printed on it.

A large quantity of Mr O Snodaigh's election posters were also found. The five men were subsequently jailed for four years each for membership of the Provisional IRA.

It was the feigned innocence i found funny. Or perhaps Mary Lou really doesnt have a clue who she got into bed with.

She was probably wondering where his party issued AK-47 was at the time.

CeilingFly · 04-02-2018 06:32PM

The real question is why he happens to have a bolt cutters in the back of his car.

Then again, it is SF, so probably normal.

Just wondering why weren’t the other cars beside him clamped also. They are all parked on a big yellow box.

In many parts of the UK, the people running the private clampers often have criminal connections, wouldn't it be ironic if the people running this private clamping company have a paramilitary background.

In other words, did he end up pissing off one of his " members".

Might not have been parked there when the clampers visited.

Don't even know why this is new worthy?
Or why MLMD is being asked for her opinion on it.

Champers are leeches, and most of us here would cheer on anyone sawing one of their car, but this is being ambushed for political reasons.

And I'm no fan of SF, but this ain't news.

I think that if the Minister for Justice was caught doing this and the media did not report it, Sinn Fein would be asking questions. The police and the courts can decide if it is a non-issue.

Another Sinn Fein blunder?
