    I thought they usually got the ferry.

    Fair fight boss.

    "What the hell is any tourist going to think coming into the country and seeing that carry on?"

    They're lucky to get to see some indigenous Irish culture. Free floor show.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭sam t smith


    Was this our ethnic brethren?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,289 ✭✭✭Viscount Aggro


    Gardai and airport security were at the scene instantly.

    After it ended!

    Wait til the court case, 100 previous, sentence suspended, pavee point outraged at such injustice



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,239 ✭✭✭Be right back


    It's bad when the general public have to step in. What took the airport police so long?

    Theres heavy drinking in the airport bars, even see it early mornings.

    Someone must have insulted a family member.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,808 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    Ye without question they decided to sit that one out till it deescalated on it's own,

    Where were the airport security / police when all this was going on?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 845 ✭✭✭what the hell!


    Ah sure leave them alone, it's their culture...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,988 ✭✭✭griffin100


    Did this happen before or after their slash hooks were confiscated at the gates?

    Any other airport in western Europe there would have been police / security involved in seconds. Not in Dublin though.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 205 ✭✭topcat72


    Serious lack of on floor security to allow this to go on for as long as it did ( given the length of the video clips ) . You would wonder how secure Dublin Airport is - given also the recent breaching of security with a ( test ) gun getting through security scanners. Should be a serious wakeup call .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,390 ✭✭✭UsBus


    I presume they were all allowed board their flights after that. Imagine starting your holidays next to that on a flight...rats

    Sure don't we all know that it is the Settled Communities fault that our indigenous ethnic minority act like this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭Staleturnips


    In fairness to guards and security staff with the scant resources and training they have you cant blame them being reluctant to break it up. These tinkers would only laugh at them

    An Irish version of the Guardia Civil is required to deal with this scum. Riot gear, battens and let them have it.

    I don't know how anyone can drink early in the morning. I've seen it at Dublin airport while I'm trying to force down some coffee and toast killing time before the flight. How anyone can drink pints or shorts at 5am is beyond me.

    I’m not sure that Airport Police are able to deal with such an incident, it would have to be the Gardaí.

    I’ve been in enough English airports to see loads of police there with all manner of weapons. While they wouldn’t use a rifle on these boyos, they’d definitely be getting tasered to get them to stop.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    I'm only surprised people weren't charged to watch the fight live



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,547 ✭✭✭Foxhound38


    If there was ever a bunch of lads in such sore need of a decent tazering...



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,832 ✭✭✭Paddigol


    You'd swear by the sort of comments above that if it wasn't for travellers we'd have no antisocial behaviour in this country. I'd stick the dirty, unemployed, tracksuit clad, Dublin scrotes top of the list for needing to be sorted out. Proper knackers.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 910 ✭✭✭Get Real


    Not sure I get the "where were the airport police" questions. Or guards.

    In any event, its the scum in the video we should be blaming. Think about it, I could go pretty much anywhere right now and cause 4 or 5 mins of carnage

    (but I wouldn't because I'm someone who'd be mortified at myself, and I don't have countless previous convictions)

    I could step out my front door and brick at least ten houses to bits before anyone came. And that's not their fault, can't magic out of thin air. It'd be entirely my fault for my actions.

    If people remember that car on fire in the tanning salon last week? Imo it's akin to waiting 15 seconds and shouting "fire brigade are useless, sure the place is gutted"

    Thank you Enda Kenny

    What you did will never be forgotten



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,962 ✭✭✭Dr Turk Turkelton


    Does anyone know if this particular group of travellers were travelling into the country or out of the country?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Tourists wouldn't get entertainment like that at Bunratty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,823 ✭✭✭Allinall


    What Enda Kenny did had zero to do with what happened at the airport.

    Those are the t1 departure gates, so out of the country.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,198 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    All the bigots on the thread.

    Don't you know that it has been part of their culture for hundreds of years to go to the airport and get pissed and have an oul' straightener

    You should all be ashamed of yourself for looking down on these fine young gentlemen keeping their noble tradition alive



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,251 ✭✭✭✭GreeBo


    Head stamp...shudder. Should be attempted murder for that everytime.



  • Registered Users Posts: 296 ✭✭Ham_Sandwich


    probably addiction issues or mental health, hope they get the help they need



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,512 ✭✭✭✭whisky_galore


    Yes, the last of the wild feckless Irish race, keeping up noble traditions.

    They should get recognition and govt funding, oh wait...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,403 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Sure wasnt it in 1884 that they all went down to Knock airport with slashhooks and sulkies to enact the great act of "I grabbed her first"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,257 ✭✭✭DBK1


    Couldn’t agree more. I don’t care what age, race, sex, minority, majority or whatever group someone wants to class themselves as. Anyone that can commit a head stamp on someone is nothing only scum and definitely should be charged with attempted murder.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,198 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    Ah 'twas.

    A great day that begat a fabulous family feud that exits to this day. It should be commemorated as our own Bastille Day.

    Monsignor Horan even used that event as an excuse to invite JP II to visit Knock back in the day. JP II was a noted connoisseur of the bootleg bare knuckle videos.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,669 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    We we would certainly have a lot less of it

    Old people would sleep better in their beds at night with less worry about getting beaten up and robbed.

    Less taxpayers money would be spent on people who never work and council estates where they live wouldn't be looking something like Mariupol.

    Motorists wouldn't have to be dealing with dodging sulky racers on dual carriageways and less animals would be mistreated.

    This is what you have when a group of people have absolutely nothing positive to add to this country.

    Wonder was it football fans heading to Paris?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,012 ✭✭✭furiousox


    They must have saved up for ages and booked annual leave from their employers to take a well deserved break.

    All ruined by a few minutes tomfoolery, such a shame for them.

    Those lads usually tend to work night shifts as well I think?

    it was the multiple stamps on the head at the end i have an issue with, such a weak cowardly action. Throw hands fair enough 1 on 1 but it wasn't a fair fight



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,453 ✭✭✭sam t smith


    Re the ‘night shift’, it would depend which arm of the family business they worked in.

    Roof repairs and driveway resurfacing would probably be best done in daylight.

    Can’t comment on the nocturnal activities.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,699 ✭✭✭Gusser09


    Jaysus so the lad sitting at the bar maybe calming his nerves with a beer is to blame?

    A section of society always seems to manage to blame alcohol and penalise eveyerone else apart from the cultured element who cause the trouble.

    A beer might not be for you in the morning but its something some people enjoy it once a year going on holiday. And the vast majority of us dont have a bare knuckle straightner like the knacks.

    Deal with the issue and dont punish all of us.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,426 ✭✭✭PokeHerKing


    Good thing the A-rabs don't think we merit an attack. For no guard to have line of sight to that in our tiny departure area shows the airport is essentially not policed.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,198 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump



    Fair enough. But would you have any proposals for a system that can decide what adult is, and what adult is not, allowed to be served?

    You're not going to refuse service based on accent or name unless you want to empty your bank account in a discrimination claim


    More security is all well and good but it has to be paid for eventually



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,513 ✭✭✭✭ohnonotgmail


    They are in the largest airport in the country that has it's own onsite police force. the fight went on for 3 minutes at least. the airport police should have been there before that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,897 ✭✭✭BronsonTB


    Update: As someone is now before the courts over this, thread should be closed until court case is over.

    Reason: Part of Board Terms before anyone asks!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,897 ✭✭✭BronsonTB


    Your post is unhelpful, mine was!

    I was giving an update to the topic & know from the past, if it's a pending court case the thread should be locked!
