Tralee thread

The Emergencey Department at UHK has been cleared and closed to all except seriously ill to prevent a further breakout of trouble there following the incident at Rath.

RIP to the man who lost his life. Wishing a full recovery to his poor wife. Absolutely dreadful thing to happen.

Armed Gardai are patroling the town centre.

Now? Because they certainly weren't there before 2p.m.

Well we picked a great day to have to travel to Tralee and go to the car dealer across from the cemetery in question. Fortunately we got there after the violence had ended. Same day as earlier in the day we were talking to a friend of ours who is a Guard in Tralee about what kinds of things he has to deal with. My wife, when we left home to start our day, said "This feels like a bad day." Funny.

OMG, going to one funeral now most will have to attend another, nonsense violence

I'm guessing a feud that will escalate more violence in the next funeral, a vicious circle

There've been two arrests. If you look into the names associated with the crime, and with the earlier funeral, the individuals in question have long histories of criminality and violence. Firebombing homes, automobiles, violent fisticuffs, etc.

There was clean up of the area this morning and the caretaker was taking down the signs saying the Graveyard was closed, I'd imagine it would be open to the public now.

Many of these type of funerals have seen weapons confiscated, huge garda security operations over recent years . It’s one of a growing number of issues involving this community all over Ireland but the powers that be don’t want to deal with it or discuss it for fear of the PC agenda

I wouldn't think it's likely as he seems to be from Killarney, the woman being buried at the time while living in Killarney was from Tralee.

I don't get it. What have they got to loose from discussing it, apart from the wrath of the perpetually outraged. Most normal people want to discuss it

Accusing Greta Thunberg of freezing and starving people to death is a bit of a stretch, especially in a rant about political correctness 😀

People of asian background aren't the only people who commit rape.

I think the only people not thinking that the situation is completely out of control are the ones in government. They seem to be utterly clueless. The French government warned their students that there's a serious accommodation crisis in Ireland, if they were thinking of coming here to study. The Irish government doesn't seem to be warning anyone about anything as far as the shortage of accommodation is concerned.

Whatever reputation Ireland had for being a country that welcomes refugees and asylum seekers, has now been shot down in flames, and it's all going to end in tears.

One to avoid so.
