Young travellers from Carrickpherish road are causing hassle around the cleaboy using the northern estate and close by housing estates as shortcuts.

As many people will be aware a while ago further development plans for the Carrickphierish was voted down by councillors.

One particular political party on their local facebook page tried to make the issue about " racism " but they failed to mention the anti social behavior in the area and didn,t take any concerns by non travellers residents in the area into any consideration.

Whenever the next elections are held any canvassers belonging to this political party I,ll be saying it them about the way they looked at Carrickphierish council vote from a very one sided point of view.

Going by the linked article, I'd assume it was either the Labour party or the Greens. Could be wrong!

I'd love to see the reaction if I parked a portaloo on the footpath outside my house.

In 2019 the Council spent just 46% (€77.5k) of the central funding provided by the Department of Housing for Traveller accommodation.

I'd be beyond enraged if I was living there, it's a disgraceful way to treat people, the whole situation is disgraceful. only desperate people will truly end up in those new developments, this government deserves to fall hard in the next ge.

Why go on holiday when you have such a beautiful chalet to live in all year round?

I passed over that way this morning and you wouldn't see as many cameras on Portlaoise prison as there are on the new estate, it's a real pity it has to be that way as the place looks well.

Buildings certainly look well, but are those cameras there just during building or permanent? Such permanence sounds like an awful existence

At the time PBP had a few posts on their facebook being critical and playing the racism card over the way the councillors voted.

Video doing the round of a traveler giving a beating to one of local bikers.

Like something off of shameless.

Apologies if not related to thread- but it’s a deplorable video.

Azatadine · 22-06-2021 11:29am

Biker as in a local just cycling through or a "biker" who they have an issue with? I assume they hardly just started beating up a cyclist who happened to pass through the no-mans land that is Carrickphierrish.

No, he is one of the top Free wheelers. They are a fairly serious crew, I wouldn't like to get on the bad side of them.

Actually the attack happened in kilcohan not Carrickpherish. I'm not sure why it's being discussed in this thread.

Didnt something like this happen before and when the bikers finally cornered the "well known family" they called the guards

Not related at all, and there's a back story there. There were no 'nice guys' in that video.

It used to be popular route for runners …….probably way to risky now to chance running past there based on above and same for the casual cyclist….?

greenspurs · 23-06-2021 8:43am

Plenty of videos, and whatsapp messages going around.

Big lad bit off more than he can chew now though! Running looking for help, and then hiding out somewhere, while the auld lads on bikes look for him ...

Popcorn time.

Back on topic, anti social issues have gone away over night! Not a sinner in the halting site in Carrickpherish, looks like everyone has cleared out of there. Maybe it’s related to the above or they’re all gone on their holibobs...

I would be willing to bet it won't.

I assume I can't name names here so I won't go into any detail, but I'd say as bitter as it may be to swallow that public humiliation, swallow it he will.

Dunno, I'd jog past it on a regular basis and never experienced any hassle but I do know some who have had issues so who knows - its mostly the kids that are the problem I'd imagine

They seem to be causing more trouble up around the Cleaboy end at the moment though.

Growing in a local authority housing estate I remember at one point a group of travelers families arrived and set up camp on the outskirts of the estate, a few of the residents went to the council about it the group of traveler families eventually moved on.

But they caused anti social behavior in the brief time they were there. My thoughts go to the settled residents in Carrickpherish.

Those bikers will do absolutely nothing. You can be sure of that. Think you are confusing them with some chapter in America!!

The youngest of them are in their 50s and they don’t exactly look like lads into the MMA!!

Well I mean, that's not exactly true. Couple of them who would be friends of mine are mid 30s like, but in the overall point I agree. Nothing of note will really happen, a 65 year old man went to do damage with a golf club, a kid and his missus both bearing weapons and shock horror the traveller didn't really care for reputation and handed his ass to him, and then apparently got arrested himself the day after.

I'd be more concerned if I was someone sharing the video actually, far easier targets for intimidation and reprisal to help ease the swallowing of that bitter pill.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd be willing to bet good money on it very very little will happen in the aftermath.

But with the whole thing being shared on social media,what are options there.
Somehow I don’t see the bikers letting this one go,they will only lose respect from the other bike clubs in the country,so this is not the end of it,by any means
