Road signs? Fairly easy to miss this in the dark.

Can happen quite easily there if they weren't from the area. Seen vice versa a couple of times meself, and they probably never realised they crossed the border. McBrearty is more concerned about local elections than international incidents.

We are starting our southern invasion, next up wee Leitrim

"International incident"? Sweet jesus!

Kinzig · 13-02-2014 12:43AM

I take it you did'nt click on the link,it shows a photo of the landrover coming through Lifford in daylight.

Donegal is hardly the south now is it?

You call that "daylight". Grim up north.

Banjoxed · 13-02-2014 12:56AM

What Lifford really needs is a grip shop, because Cllr McBrearty clearly needs to get one.

anyone who knows that border crossing will know that the jeep is literally 20 meters from the border, he prob went up to the roundabout to turn back because it is the only place to turn there, especially in a jeep. a non incident.

hfallada · 13-02-2014 12:58AM

Its very easy to cross into NI from ROI without realizing it. Although there is a slight variety in the road surfacing between North and South of the Border. Its not like every crossing has you are now entering the ROI

I for one welcome our new enforcement overlords.

No chance they'd take that madman McBrearty with them on their way back?

Well considering that our actual enforcement overlords are mostly absent, unless someone spreads a rumour of dodgy diesel, I'd say that having the Ice Cream Van over increased the policing presence in Donegal by at least oh, 25%

Road signs and road surfaces... are you guys having a laugh?! :pac:

Every PSNI vehicle is fitted with GPS. It's not 1995

dxhound2005 · 13-02-2014 01:09AM

Cameron trying to divert attention away from the flooding disaster. It's like the Spanish and Gibraltar.

Banjoxed · 13-02-2014 01:10AM

Cop takes Lifford exit, can't do a u turn across traffic, does least worst option and goes twenty metres over border to roundabout. Tribunal now unnecessary. Where do I send the bill?

Pretty hard to miss the change in road/road surface though!

dxhound2005 · 13-02-2014 01:15AM

And Lifford is the capital city of Donegal as well. This is serious.

They entered Ireland - turn through 180 degrees at the same location and there's THREE very large signs.

And then there's the firearms they illegally imported if people want to nitpick.

All told though, mountain/molehill scenario.

Conmaicne Mara · 13-02-2014 01:37AM

International incident? Be Jasus. Politics in Ireland is some of the best free entertainment there is.

Davarus Walrus · 13-02-2014 01:39AM

Close the border. It's the only rational way of dealing with the Nordie invasion.

Guy:Incognito · 13-02-2014 01:41AM

I honestly couldn't care less if they crossed over and started arresting criminals when they're bored.

StupidLikeAFox · 13-02-2014 01:42AM

"This is an international incident and should be fully investigated. What would of happened if dissidents had of opened fire on the PSNI in broad daylight in Lifford where citizens of our country are going about their daily business.?"

Shots fired? Blame the guys they were firing at!

Yes, bored criminals are the worst type.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 13-02-2014 01:42AM

Frank McBrearyu has shown his low level of intelligence with this one. He called it an international incident and demanded the UN and EU are involved. He truely is a cretin and to think that he's actually being paid by donegal county council who are up to their eyes in debt makes things worse. He should resign now before he becomes the laughing stock of Europe.

They'd probably hit mcbrearty, the walrus.

I'd give them an alibi.
