That’s not fair. You cannot say that people don’t care about the deceased because they’re travellers. What happened was horrific, but there is no sense at all playing the blame game. It was a horrible accident, that could have happened in any one of our homes. Chip pans are unfortunately not safe to use. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.

The purpose of Fire Safety regulations as laid down by law, is to prevent such accidents, and make no mistake about it, all public housing temporary or otherwise come under that law. Your home is not the same as a fibreglass caravan . Save your crocodile tears, honey!

Are you claiming a chip pan fire wouldn't have any effect in a "conventional house" ?



I even gave an example in the post you quoted from :

So those guys ok according to you..only brought down a country.
This petty criminal is ripped apart on this sxxt forum for 9 months , and today we heard about whole families with small children being burnt to death and no one in DLRCC accountable. And this crowd here just carry on about Margaret Cash.

Do they come around and make chips now ?

It's always someone else.

The coroner for South Cork, Frank O’Connell, was speaking after returning verdicts of accidental death in relation to the deaths of Noel O’Mahony, in his sixties, and Kenny Relihan, in his twenties, following a house fire at 47 St Colman’s Park, Macroom, Co Cork, in the early hours of May 2, 2016.

He said it was the fourth fatal house fire case in five years in the south Cork area alone where people had died in fires caused by the pans.

“These old-fashioned chip pans are beyond their sell-by date and people should dump them,” said Mr O’Connell.

Of course you just quoted the centre bit of that, knowing well it wasn't intended as funny :

Yeah , funny. Those children are dead, axxxxle .
The chip pan started the fire but the fact that the caravans were squished into a small site with inadequate fire safeguards is against regulations. But they got away with that by saying it was an emergency site . The fire hose and hydrant didn't have any water pressure. It is wrong to house families with children on sites like that at all never mind excuse it once they've all been burnt to death.
If you tried to build an attic conversion without attention to fire safety regulations in DLRCC I bet they would pull the plug pretty fast. But hey it's ok because they were only travellers?

It's not going to bring them back and it's not a blame game, it's disgusting what you are trying to do though



The DLRCC didn't come around, smoke weed, get drunk and leave a chip pan on a hotplate set to maximum.


Jim Connors Jr said : "Thomas was smoking his weed. All the adults were drinking in the kitchen. It was 2am when I was leaving and we were all drunk."


If you were living in a terraced house ( like many many people ) and your house went on fire, you wouldn't put your child into the house next door

And that's what happened :

But hindsight is a wonderful thing


The inquest heard there were four fire extinguishers located around the site. All four were in working order but none had been used.

There were ads on television in the 80's telling everyone that chip pans were bad news. I don't know anyone who uses them. Some responsibility for yourself and your family has to be taken sometime.

Outside of the fire danger, I don't know anyone who uses chip pans anymore because of the health implications (not to mention the fact that you'd smell like a chip shop after it).

They're definitely not a good thing to use when you're drunk or high on illegal substances.

It can't be easy for councils to find suitable sites for these families when there's a veto on them from other families.

Always somebody else to blame.

I'm surprised that he admitted that the guy was high - we're always hearing claims that travellers are anti-drugs.

What is her Doctorate in? Sociology? Why not education or something practical.

I'm absolutely no fan of travellers (the nicest way I can put it).

Wouldn't give a flying fig if they all dropped dead in the morning (A more accurate way of putting it).

But fair is fair, the woman got a Doctorate and no matter what it is in, they aren't easy to achieve.

Fair fcuks to her.

Now, back to my normal anti-traveller stance.

Actually, the fact that a population of around 40,000 people is, in the year 2019, celebrating the first PhD in its history only illustrates the complete disregard that most Travellers have for education. Only 8% of Travellers complete the Leaving Cert, and just 1% have a third-level qualification. Most Travellers have extremely high rates of illiteracy as well an unemployment rate of 80%.

I'm happy for Ms Joyce that she has achieved a PhD, but l don't see hordes of Travellers following in her footsteps. A Traveller is far more likely to wind up in jail than in university.

I'd question that figure. Surely it's much higher.

Schemes - I've a friend in the DEASP and she told me that every traveller she's aware of that is classed as "working" is either involved in some traveller project (where they usually don't turn up but get paid anyway) or has signed up to some dole scheme to avoid a jail sentence.

I'd love to tell her that she'll get a home when she gets up off her hole and works for one. But sadly that won't be the case.
