    If you read my post properly , it is the recommendations of the inquest jury .And as the jury are reasonable people , I agee with them. Most publicly owned buildings have someone trained in firesafety who is living on site , and buildings where there isn't a brick wall between them are required to have fire stops installed , eg attics in terraced or semi d houses.
    It's law since 2014, and strictly enforced since Priory Hall.
    Of course everyone bears personal responsibility , AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE , but that does not absolve the council from their responsibility either.
    What you have never explained on this thread is HOW the council could've prevented this tragedy. The travellers put in the extra caravan. That's not on the council. The adult travellers were all found to be drunk. That is not on the council. A Traveller left a chip pan on the heat, that is not the fault of the council.

    If this was a case of faulty wiring causing the accident, then I'd agree that the council are to blame. In this incidence, unfortunately it was adults with too much to drink making silly decisions which lead to loss of life.

    Please tell us all how fire regulations would have helped adults who were passed out with drink?????

    If this happened in a council house with settled people it would still be a tragedy but it wouldn't be the fault of the council.

    The state will cough up large here, kitty Holland will write a pity piece twice per week in the Irish Times and aine lawlor will have pavee point on to demand adequate compensation for the relatives of the deceased

    “School run den off 2 the council fingers crossed all goes well ��”

    Hoping to get rewarded for her actions today.

    “School run den off 2 the council fingers crossed all goes well ��”

    Hoping to get rewarded for her actions today.

    For what exactly? A bigger house, she just got one? Is she expecting to get a 4/5 bed in tallaght? People who have 300k can't even get one.

    And she bitches and moans about the council and now expects them to help her even more.

    Id put her file on the admin desk and leave it at the bottom of the pile

    "Sorry love,computer says noooooo!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,108 ✭✭✭KrustyUCC


    It would be nice if she's disappointed but the Council wouldn't want the publicity

    Single homeless mother of seven, promised a house but turned down

    It's awful Joe!!!

    Some of her supporters comments are infuriating

    "Best of luck hun u deserve it xxx"

    Deserve it grrrr

    No seriously, someone here has to be the fire safety guy.
    Get off the fcukin site or I'll take a hook to ya. We own this site now so fcuk off.
    But it's the law.
    We don't do the law. MAGGIE GET THE LADS OUT!
    Alright, I'm going, I'm going.



    Yeah, that was before they morphed into a criminal organisation.

    No, the actual scenario is fire officer arrives in halting site without his entire body protection suit on.

    Savage dog who is mistreated by travellers emerges from under a caravan and rips fire officers stomach open. Traveller men are sitting drinking nearby and they dont call dog off until poor fireman is half dead.

    Rinse and repeat.

    Wonder has Margaret gotten some bad news because after returning from the council she seems to have gone on a Facebook spree - like 20 shared posts in the space of 45 minutes. Not exactly the behaviour of someone celebrating being awarded a house.

    The authorities need to stamp out this 'calling out' ****e for once and for all.
    That little bollix brandishing the slash-hook should be made do something useful with it, like cutting back the overgrown hedgerows along our country roads and receive 5 kicks in the hole every hour along the way.
    And cut his dole and 'entitlements' for 6 months.

    If you brandish a slash hook like that, you're a fcuking knacker. And that's nothing to do with being a traveller. It means you're an absolute violent scumbag and nothing more.

    I always thought there were laws that made it an offence to threaten people, especially with weapons such as slash hooks.

    I must be mistaken. :o

    An unfortunate fact in Ireland is that laws seem to apply far more to the law-abiding than they do to those who routinely ignore the law.

    I'm no fan of the travellers, but this is going too far, and puts me in mind of old punch cartoons.

    The British weren't just making **** up. Poor, uneducated groups tend to have these problems. The travellers would be grand if only their kids saw out their education. Spewing bile about them being subhuman is pig-ignorant.

    The short versions is because their parents don't value it, which is enabled and exacerbated by a failing national policy because it's a politically unpalatable topic.

    I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that calling them "in reality a less developed form of life" is exactly the sort of repulsive racism that was directed at this nation. It's fuel for the kinds of folks who think pointing out secondary school completion rates or incarceration rates for travellers amounts to racism. The debate has to be better than that, or it will continue to be impossible outside of some ranty little thread in a corner of the internet.

    The ones I know are educated, to a very high level. But not educated in the way we are educated. Not book smarts. They are educated how to scam the system, how to fiddle, how to steal etc.

    And you'd be fairly naïve to think that most of them are poor. Yes, there are poor travellers. But many of them would buy and sell us.

    Unfortunately, as Casey found out, there is no debate - it's either shut your mouth or be called a racist. There's no space in Irish media or politics for a debate, therefore people will lash out in frustration on the forums they can.

    They don't value it because there's more money to be had the other way. As the saying goes 'a crooked pound is as good as an honest pound'. And that was said to me by a traveller.

    Look, all the discussion in the world isn't going to make a blind bit of difference. Travellers won't engage and tow the line when it comes to responsibility etc. They won't change unless they have to change. And that's not going to happen because we are bending our laws to suit them. Or at least not enforcing them. Here is one example - So what if it's their culture to keep horses, so we have to get them accommodation with stables etc?

    Could I say the same if I was from gentry and fell on hard times? Us gentry always had horses, I need stables with my council house? Get ta feck.
