    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.

    "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…..?

    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 ?

    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.

    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. 😂

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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!
