Traveller Wedding - Breaking Tenancy & Covid Rules

Thanks for your research

Well it doesn't suit some people's narrative to do the research themselves. It's not so much shock, horror when you see that weddings, confirmation etc of the same or larger numbers have been going on around the country for almost a year now

Because posters were here saying it didn't happen. It did happen, lots.
I didn't organise it, I have no idea about restrictions at the time, but there were a lot of people there. And that was just one I was at myself, there were lots more.

If you don't know what restrictions were in at the time, your post is pointless and supports nothing. So, without proof, it should be assumed that the wedding you attended last summer was not in breach of covid rules and the settled white people abided by the law.

Question, was there more than 50 there including staff & wedding guests?

Again if you google the restrictions last year then you will find that 50 was the largest number allowed Inc staff serving & bar staff. It's not a secret. Very well published. You must know this already from the golf gate saga?

Yes.

Like 100s more parties it broke the regulations. I'm stunned at posters claiming they didn't know this was going on. NEPHET were being people not to attend these family parties.

There was a reason that the government had to stop confirmations & communions last autumn. They wanted to stop these large parties

So 20 garda vehicles, jcb and driver. Truck and driver and others involved in this.
I font suppose these upstanding citizens will get the bill.

You selectively read the links. They weren't all travellers & one linked article is about the amount of these parties and the government being so worried about the climbing numbers

This isn't selective, I've pasted in a broad selection of the paragraph beginnings of the links you posted that seem to totally contradict the wild claims you've made. You posted these links yourself, I've got to think if someone is trying to prove a point they would themselves be selective but if this was the best you could find then my opinion is that you have totally and utterly undermined your own argument.

"Video evidence shows massive parties being held in Spring Lane Halting Site"

"Footage inside the lavish Irish wedding that broke Covid lockdown rules
The rule breaking bride and groom were filmed arriving at St John's Church, Tralee in a horse drawn carriage" - "The young Traveller couple were filmed arriving to St John's Church in Tralee, Co Kerry, in the white horse-drawn carriage followed by two stretched limousines."

"That same weekend a Traveller family had a party in Spring Lane with fireworks."

"“I will be contacting the Minister for Justice to have her investigate why Cork Gardai are not interacting with the Travelling community when they are breaking the rules and regulations that are there to protect communities from Covid.

“This has to be contributing to the high increase in numbers and there are people out there, not just the travelling communities, who believe it is their right to throw caution to the wind and to behave irresponsibly."

And to be clear, I have no doubt plenty of settled people did also break the rules and had parties but they don't seem to attract the same attention. I would suggest because they try and fly under the radar by not pissing off their neighbours by being so brazen about it?

75% of the evidence that you did provide discredited your argument, but you still insist on pushing it.

There is no pushing it. Everyone & their dog knows about the large family parties last year. The government & NEPHET begged them to stop. Eventually they had to ban communions and confirmations to try stop these parties. Marquee companies were running flat out last summer. Why you keep pretending that it's the first you heard of it is beyond me. NEPHET begged people to stop each evening as they published the numbers.

Well bubblypop obviously hadn't heard of it.

Yeah, CAB would find a big ledger in the trailer, with dates, quotations, expenditure and receipts for Honda generators, roof repairs, antiques, rhino horns and so on.... all the invoices, vat receipts, cheque numbers...
Dead easy audit, anyone could do it.
