Yeah could really be a big coincidence true that an off duty Garda based in Dublin just so happened to be viciously assaulted in Limerick after being involved in this particular investigation

I thought you got assaulted automatically as you crossed the border into Limerick?

KrustyUCC · 13-12-2018 01:25PM

I better be careful crossing the border at Charleville at the weekend so lol

Seems highlighting criminal behaviour is travelling bashing. Maybe if less travellers were involved in criminal behaviour the bashing wouldn't be so common.

Following on from the last one, another garda assaulted. WTF is going on?

This one was on duty at the time I believe

Elderly folks selling their cars and getting less than what was promised or nothing at all. Its stealing basically.

that to me is straightforward theft hardly a scam

It's theft if it was stolen. It's a scam if the goods were handed over, but payment never happened.

A notorious traveller crime gang is at the centre of a suspected scam involving expensive vintage and classic cars.

They do such a good job bashing themselves, though!

Very interesting article thanks

I'm told the CAB are paying a lot of attention to these people. Their profilers are busy compiling cases for tax evasion and welfare fraud.

About time too.

what was the scam? people receiving less than their car was worth....does that mean if I find a good deal somewhere on a car(unlikely I know) I am scamming the seller

My ole lad got his hedge cut one summer, agreed price of €100 ......... light skim of hedge done and the price was then €150 iirc. My Dad felt intimidated so handed over the cash.

I can imagine similar being done with cars etc and on a larger scale, the media aren't giving all of the details on this.

More details might come out when the DDP decide to prosecute

Ha true

DPP lol

Deebles McBeebles · 14-12-2018 05:03PM

Wait... so DPP does not stand for Double Penetration Paddy....thought it was the best traveller nickname I'd heard in ages.

I imagined he'd gotten the name from calling out 2 lads on each callout video.

For every 5000 law abiding travellers, there’s one bad apple.

I would love to see a study on the number of crimes perpetuated by travellers per capita , and the same for "settled" people.

I don't think your 5000:1 hypothesis would be supported, or even close to representative, frankly.

There are 31,000 travellers in Ireland. Going by your figures that means there are 6 criminals in Ireland that are travellers. Does that sound right to you?

I don't know, the article doesn't actually mention their ethnicity, only their location. Make of that what you will...

Yeah this place is fooking terrible always jumping to conclusions about our culturally enriched ethnic minority.

I have heard it is the AMISH :eek:

You can't be up them at all at all.

Ever notice how the media that always calls a spade a spade are the British owned tabloid redtops.

No wonder they are so hated and reviled by the liberal lefty feckers.

Or maybe and honest admission there is an issue of acceptance by some crime is ok

Rathkeale is a lovely spot, so nice in fact. That I know of a cycle club who advise their members to stay away from cycling on certain areas around there. Due to being robbed...Maybe it's just a coincidence

Your poor dad.

:mad:

The beautician I go to had to close her salon because of the regular theft (saying she messed up their tan or whatever and insisting on not having to pay) and intimidation (bullying and threatening until she agreed they didn't have to pay). She now works from home and has lost loads of clients and potential clients (as she doesn't want to advertise her address, naturally) but says it's still worth it. The power they have is just ****ed up.

Am i the only one giggling at messed up their tans?

Nobody picked up on the sarcasm in my post. It was meant to be tongue in cheek. It was also meant to reflect what the p.c. brigade would say, the ones who are living in an area where you never see a real life traveller.
