Fine figure of a man. Some moves. Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee.

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!!

Another "well known" family in Waterford might tell you otherwise regarding what the bikers could do. Whatever about the older lads, some of the younger lads who have joined over the last number of years aren't exactly angels. With the Gardai heavily involved in this, I think this will pass without anything further happening, for the time being anyway.

Looks (and moves) like The Great Khali.

In fairness if you go up to a guy's house with a golf club you can expect to get a hiding. What was he ****ing thinking.

Was this the original one or a reaction to it? Fella who who hit him would appear to be carrying a knife shaped object in his hand :eek:

So why go to the psychos house?? He must have known what this guy was like and certainly not naive in the ways of the world

heard it was to collect someone that had already been assaulted, but he certainly wasnt going there to just have a chat! id imagine various extra extremities already exist with this one, so god knows what the truth is...

He doesn't live there, he was there on the session. Seriously nasty piece of work, needs to be put away for a long time.

He was arrested a few hours after and brought to Cork for his own safety.

Looks like that alright. That said, sounds like the fields are being closed off due to the lads burning gorse and stuff. I'd say that's the travellers alright.

Azatadine · 18-07-2021 5:03pm

Looks like the lads just moved in two new mobile homes.

The bikers are the equivalent to Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy.

I see the lads have horses on the new landscaped embankment in front of the new houses on the opposite side of the road.

I dont know why they set the fence so far back from the footpath. The lads were always going to put horses on that. Awful to see the hoofprints in freshly landscaped ground like that.

Rustyman101 · 18-01-2022 8:21pm

"The lads" know there will be no consequences to their actions so why care ! Thanks Enda.

What would be your ‘solution’ to the whole traveller situation…..?

Any pictures of the illegal development/chalets?

Rustyman101 · 19-01-2022 1:43pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118498975#Comment_118498975

A good start would to apply the law of the land across the board, I wouldn't get away with 1/8 of the stuff the "lads" get away with.

What would yours be ?

Assuming you see it as an issue ?

Effects · 19-01-2022 4:01pm

What do you want to get away with that you can't, but they do?

Build a shanty town on the green next to my house, put portaloos on the footpath, graze my non existent flock where every the flock I like, you get the picture or maybe you don't, last comment on this as I'd say we are poles apart and that's ok, exit stage left.

Azatadine · 19-01-2022 6:49pm

Another loose horse trotting up the footpath outside the new estate this evening. I rang the guards .....again....but I don't know if they do anything about it. I reported loose horses there about 3 weeks ago as well.

I wouldn't say we are poles apart. But I've had similar issues with settled folk, Gardaí don't want to know and council do nothing. 😂

StringerBell · 19-01-2022 8:01pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118500578#Comment_118500578

Can't speak for anyone else, but I know it's not so much a case of me wanting to get away with anything and more a case of me wanting the same application of the law of the land applied to everyone.

Effects · 20-01-2022 12:56am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118501870#Comment_118501870

But the law of the land doesn't apply to everyone equally. You don't have to be a traveller to get away with breaking the law. It happens to people from all different sections of society every day.

Gardaí also know when to pick their battles, and when it's easier for them to let people away with breaking the law.

Other than the fairly wealthy, can you advise how the law is applied differently to the average settled person than it is the average traveller?

SamStonesArm · 20-01-2022 2:27pm

Any of ye ever see the lad from Carrickpherish running along on the bouncy yokes . He's some man for one man.

Azatadine · 20-01-2022 3:18pm

Passed by there about an hour ago and he was jumping up and down on them!! There was a foal in the new estate looking out over the wall. That estate will be destroyed.

StringerBell · 22-01-2022 1:54am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118503718#Comment_118503718

It's neither here nor there whether other people break the law also, what kind of arguement is that? I didn't say the law is applied to everyone did I?

This thread is specifically about travellers in the carrickphierish area so that's why it's specific to them. Does it need to be said that having the law of the land applied to all people equally includes non travellers also or something?

And the gardai deciding when to pick their battles and allowing people away with breaking the law, is this somehow a positive?

Yeah I'd often pass him on my own run, the wife do be out now too on them. Was talking to him bout them one day, he said the kangoo boots are much easier on his knees. He can often be seen doing jumping jacks outside the site in the them too. Strongly considering joining in one day when my knees start packing in.

I couldn't figure out ant reason they would be useful , never thought about the knees. That's good thinking. Wouldnt mind a go of them myself.

is it a traveller that is using these things….?

Azatadine · 22-01-2022 9:35am

Yes, he does use them.

I don't understand why they have the boundary wall on the new estate set so far back from the footpath....there's a large green area there......the horses are already ripping it up....

Was there some kind of assault on the Carrickpherish road last night? Some area is cordoned off and Garda cars there. The corporation should hang their head in shame the way that entire stretch road was planned. It's thrown to the wolves now anyway

There was unfortunately.

" WATERFORD Gardai are currently investigating an assault that occurred at approximately 4:55pm this evening (Monday, January 31) in the Carrickpherish area of Waterford.

A man in his early 30s was taken to University Hospital Waterford with non-life threatening injuries.

A man in his early 50s has been arrested in connection with this incident and he is currently being detained at Waterford Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

Investigations are ongoing. "

If i was given a house in Carrickpherish for free i still wouldn’t live there!,totally agree the council should be ashamed of themselves it could be been a great area to live in ,close to all the factories and the Greenway they could of built a cycle friendly suburb with shops and cafe’s ,the whole area had so much potential but now as you say its thrown to the wolves.

Azatadine · 18-04-2022 9:51am

Drove by there yesterday for the first time in a while. I see the new houses opposite the halting site lads are now occupied. I also saw a horse tethered to one of the piers in the wall at the front of the estate. Jaysus like.....imagine having to come out your front door and see horses belonging to the lads on your front lawn like!
