Traveller Wedding - Breaking Tenancy & Covid Rules

Total disregard for anything. During a global pandemic, certain members of community feel laws don't apply to them...

"He told the Circuit Civil Court that when told he was breaching regulations, Mr Connors replied: “I know all that. I know I’m breaching my tenancy but it is my son’s wedding and he has no other place to go.”

Hope it gets taken down ASAP and the parents are fined for breach of tenancy.

After the absolutely pathetic fines dished out to the Longford rule breakers the other day he's going to plough on.

Just read it before coming here. You just couldn't make this stuff up... Where's my popcorn:)

Another one?!?
Fecking brazen

The marquee looks very swanky! Lovely floral arrangement and tasteful furnishings inside. I wonder what line of business the father of the groom is in to be in a position to provide such a generous wedding gift to the happy couple?

WrenBoy · 12-05-2021 1:13pm

HAHAHA. They run the country theres no mistake.

Bicyclette · 12-05-2021 1:15pm

I think the thing to point out here is, that any anger is directed at the behaviour not the background of the people involved.

If this was done by Dublin Dentists, Donegal Doctors, Tullamore Teachers or Roscommon Rugby Players, many people, myself included, would still be aghast at the behaviour and attitude.

Why should the rest of us put up with this sh y te? It does appear as if they think they are superior to the rest of us. That they can do what they like.

I don't care who does it, this is so wrong

Law and Order is far from consistent in this country that's for sure.

Break the rules consistently by travellers and day to day petty criminals its a slap on the wrist. White collar fruad, a slap on the wrist if you know the right people.

However middle income, pay taxes, abide by the laws, contribute all round to society... If you step out of line in a similar fashion you're paying for it, make no mistake. If Tom the builder from Lucan has a marquee with 200 people for his daughters wedding he's probably doing jail time.

The problem is a very large cohort of travellers are used to disobeying the law and living with the conquences.

TBF this judge has given the LA sweeping powers to inform those attending and those involved of the conquences. No solicitor can come before him with a plaintiff and make a case his client did not know. This was the get out of jail card that was used in the the last case to limit liability to the groom, his father and father-in-law and the food proivider

In this case anybody entering the tent will be liable to a 3k fine. As well the judge has given powers to the LA to use a contractor to remove the marquee. This court order is much more sweeping than last week's one. Finally I expect the Gardai to be more willing to be involved this time and that enough numbers will be there to enforce it

You can socially embarrass , financially penalise and impose the law on most if not all of the professions mentioned above and most other citizens for that matter but you cant embarrass or impose financial penalties on those who claim to have nothing and live their lives in social and family circles where the law means nothing unless it's in their favour.

There is no mechanism to fine people for breach of tenancy.

They can be fixed for breech of Covid-19 restrictions, but some people aren't going to be fussed about that.

The ethnicity of the people concerned is irrelevant in this case, exactly the same sequence of events would happen for some buffers.

Yet another week day wedding.

How do these lads manage to get up for work the following morning.

I wonder which chipper in Sandyford, Stillorgan, Leopardstown is catering ?

San Marino in Leopardstown is offering 10% off for online orders so maybe they will get the business.

Will never happen. They will get thrown from a social house and get another Irish Tax funded organisation to fund the next house. Revolving door of left wing policy.

What's new? They've already had numbers coming from the UK at Christmas and at various other funerals and weddings and so on. *mod snip - no need*

What proportion of travellers have been taking up hospital care as a result of covid? Compared to the society as a whole?

Can't get my head around why this family figure they can just carry on like this despite knowing it's not permitted and following advice from traveller rights groups and so on.

Because they have gone unchecked, are lawless and know the state will ultimately back down.

There is nothing more I would love this evening than the guards/army in with a machine this evening to rip the whole thing down with the bucket. Let them clean up the mess themselves. A strong message needs to be sent.

It's very simple and like with any other law of the country that doesn't suit them

THEY. DON'T. CARE.

They would be the first to bring a case if an establishment declined to host their wedding due to the risks involved.

Dempo1 · 12-05-2021 2:28pm

Well I wasn't wrong, back here on a new thread with another 2 finger salute, another Marquee, Another Wedding and where??????? A halting site. I suppose it brightened up the site

Just beyond words really, what we're those words of apology from Longford again? To the people of Ireland we apologise.

You'd have to question the intelligence of the Marquee provider (if applicable) less than week since another one fined €3k, unless of course they built that into rental price

Curious to see how this ends, just extraordinary or perhaps maybe not.

lawrencesummers · 12-05-2021 2:29pm

Best of luck finding an independent contractor to take that down.

The Israeli army wouldn’t even take on that contract.

Eggs For Dinner · 12-05-2021 2:30pm

With more and more people leaving their homes to go back to work, they'll be OK to raise funds for any fines imposed on them

irishproduce · 12-05-2021 2:31pm

From the rte reporting. This quote from the organising traveller says everything that is wrong in one succinct sentence.

"My son’s wedding is going ahead and I accept the consequences of not taking it down"

You see, the problem here is, he knows the consequences are absolutely minimal and almost laughable. He says consequences, but he knows there are none bar the inconvenience of having to go to court and say sorry. That's the height of it.
We have a serious problem here.
This is one isolated incidence where the person is in a situation where they literally can be heard saying it
But it's implied across the whole country. There is f*CK all consequences.

Maybe the consequences should be a full revenue audit of where the funds for the wedding have come from and any other assets they may own. That might make the next one think twice.

Previous marquee provider was not fined. He claimed he know nothing about the court order. It was the food provider that was fined

Apologies, I understood they were not fines as such but that 3 people made contributions totalling 12k, The Organiser, Take Away and Marquee contractor???

EDIT, Just checked, groom, father and caterers, not Marquee provider

Ireland doesn't have a left wing government..... and in fact never has.

wes · 12-05-2021 2:45pm

Again, the people in this case being travelers doesn't matter.

What matters is that we have people once again blatantly violating covid restrictions and the government needs to clamp down on this hard. We are near the end of this, ****ing things up near the end, by letting people violate restrictions openly like this, is the height of idiocy.

Spanish Eyes · 12-05-2021 2:49pm

Marriage took place in NI, wonder if that is because the bride was under 18?

16 legal age for marriage NI, 18 in ROI.

Anyways, they are a gas bunch of pretend idiots, cute as foxes they are.

Which is not to say there are no measures that can be taken if you are. If I'm in breach of my tenancy and lease I get evicted. Perhaps that should also be the case here, if you are gifted a property and can't abide by the rules of your tenancy, out you go to find your own place to live.

Nope, you probably don't. It would be extremely unlikely to find a judge who would grant an eviction on the basis of one covid regulation breach.

Santan · 12-05-2021 3:02pm

Looking at the photos on rte seems like there is a large garda presence there. Unbelievable that there will be little to no consequences to this family

nullzero · 12-05-2021 3:04pm

Have the accusations of "racism" started yet?

At this point nothing should surprise us with relation to travellers.

Atlantic Dawn · 12-05-2021 3:08pm

It's like something out of Father Fooking Ted the way it's being handled, just send in the army and level the tent.

Sleeper12 · 12-05-2021 3:08pm

I hate the usual Traveller bashing threads where they are all tarred with the one brush but someone deserved to spend a night or two in jail over this. Catering company & tent provider have serious questions to answer too
