    Im pretty sure they werent travellers. Just out and out skangers.

    As I posted earlier the Irish Times have stated that some of them were travellers.


    Also the parts of Coolock they are from as listed in the Indo have a very high traveller population.

    i can just imagine the fuss that would happen if everyone had to explain themselves when they bought houses and expensive cars in cash. thats what im talking about the feeling the post gave me was "check them i dont like them" its not a great way to be going around.
    If I started buying houses cash with no visible means of income, i'm sure revenue and cab wouldn't be ling taking an interest in me, I'd be disappointed and suprised if they didn't

    What "fuss" are you talking about? Is it the same "fuss" the bank takes in assessing your income when you apply for a mortgage?

    And it is a great way to be going around if you see some guy who hasn't worked a day in his life driving a brand-new hi-spec car to ask where the fcuk is this guy getting the money, if he won the lotto it is easily proven.

    If some guy buys a new house or car with cash then yeah he should be checked out. It might not suit some of the middle or higher classes but fcuk em.

    EDIT: BTW yeah it is illegal to have money if it is acquired illegally.

    It may conceivably be of practical importance to the revenue commissioners?

    CAB legislation means that a person has to prove legitimate sources of their income as far as I know.

    The Irish Times says some of the offenders are from an extended traveller family. But hey, bad apples don't spoil the whole bunch.

    why don't you track down all those who lived there and moved and ask them? doesn't change the fact that theirs nothing the government could do about somebody buying a house or houses there.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Facilitating their lifestyle? Nothing to do with the government of our country of course.

    Huh.

    I was jogging down the Long Mile Road at around 9am this morning and a few Range Rovers, Toyota Jeeps and Mondeos flew past. Going mad fast with blue lights on.

    I never knew the guards had Range Rovers....

    Anyways, must have been to do with that.

    Fair play to all involved. They deserve the public's thanks for confronting armed criminals.

    Pussy foot work by the police in this case. Chase should not have gone on nearly that long. It should have ended with the perps full of bullets.

    Yup, I agree Dredd.

    The point is is that many many people do. And nothing is done. I don't blame the revenue people, it must be pretty easy to check people out but when you're faced with redtape up the arse when you try to do anything about it it must be pretty demoralising.

    Poor kids witnessed the whole thing. According to the news the scumbags threatened one of the little girls with cutting her hands off.

    If it's where I think, it's a cul de sac in the middle of nowhere! It would be 5 or 6 miles from the M8 on very bad roads.

    5 miles off a motorway isn't very remote.
