They don't answer phones here in Newbridge it rings out and sometimes you have to ring Naas to get through to Newbridge. Alan shatter has destroyed the policing in this country and its going to get worse

    But, they're the best in the world, I believe

    At the grave blessing in Dundalk a few weeks ago we had riot gardai, gardai on horses and the helicopter overhead.
    Madness.

    Umm, yeah. I watched a similar, err, ruckus, in Rathangan, 15 years ago. The Gardai arrested one lad and put him in the back of the plod-car. Ten of his mates wandered over and took him back out, so they could , err, massage him, a bit more. The Gardai could only look on in wonder, as they appeared to have lost their desire to uphold the peace..for some reason. Not two fecks were given for the Gards that day. Not much changes.

    The population has increased by just under a million people since 1994
    So the population has increased by what 25%?

    The increase in public disorder offences is of the order of 300%+

    That means the increase of public order offences is disproportionately huge.

    Can you give us a run-down of the incidences of using a van to clatter someone? I've never seen that before, tbh.

    How would they catch me for anything when they're in stuffing their faces with free supermacs and gambling with confiscated money?

    I'm not saying you're wrong because I don't know, but it's an increase in public disorder offences reported. It doesn't necessarily mean that there was a 300% increase.

    Where are you getting these figures from?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Public order is drink related 90% of the time i agree with you its not just travellers its all walks of society. Its down to bad policing and lack of education people need to know when one is too many but that's never going to happen

    People expecting the gardai to arrive to something like that? At best, they would show up 30 minutes later with 1 squad car and a van.

    Budget cuts have strained the force beyond breaking point.

    Are you saying the Gardai would have gotten involved in something like this before the cuts? :pac:

    The jollier driving the van could have taken out innocent passers by. I'm all for letting them wipe themselves out but that's not on

    What, next time? The ARU are camped in and around Newbridge most days. They must have "missed" this one.

    Apparently the Guards were no where to be seen. I heard they didn't go near any of the public which is good I suppose. Horrible to see, and how does it even be stopped if the Guards don't interfere, although who can blame them really...thoughts?

    Some NSFW language, plus you don't see too much until about a minute. Most of it happened down the street, and apparently there was gun shot's, you can hear the bangs in the video alright but no one seems to know if they are actually shots that were fired. Maybe someone here will know from the sound.

    What!!! Members of the Travelling community engaging in a fracas in a public place? - You jest surely? Why they are the most law abiding and peace loving people in Ireland. You must be mistaken.....
