    I'm always amazed how the Gardai seem to find stopping something like this so difficult.

    It's pretty simple really, zero tolerance policy for the following;

    - Underage drinking: No id = booze down the drain.
    - Public intoxication: You're drunk = You're in the cells for the night.
    - Anti social behavior: Acting the maggot = Back of the van for you.

    If they followed something like this there would be no trouble at all.

    Aside from pouring the drink out this wouldn't work. One kid gets hurt getting dragged into the back of the van/car and he's suddenly the equivalent of a prince. You can bet his parents will give a damn about the little **** then.

    Resisting arrest should cover everything including the broken nose.

    The only solution to this is to nuke all beaches in Dublin, while the skangers are on the beaches ofc

    Nah, the answer is not to nuke the beaches, clearly the answer is to nuke the sun.

    If scummy jnr claims he gets hurt, have doctor test him for drugs and alcohol. If test proves positive, charge scummy snr with child neglect.

    Guards should have learned how to control these situations by now before they get to the out of control stage.

    Garda did a good job in herding them all back onto the DART and out of Howth - took about 50mins for them to clear the place of the scumbags. When you see 16yr old girls walking down howth in bikinis and platform shoes followed by shirtless skinny scumbags carrying cases of Bud and bottles of Huzzar you just know there's going to be trouble. I'd like to see more arrests next time and a faster response time from Garda - they were streaming out of the train station for a good hour and a half before it all kicked off! Knackers ruined a lot of people's day today!

    I was there. It seemed more like hundreds of kids possible as many as a thousand. The Gardai, seven cars and one van, cleared the pier and while they were doing this, by literally walking them down the pier, the fight erupted nearer the other pier. The guards did confiscate booze but one wrong move by them would have led to a full scale riot. They handled it very well from what I saw, But I left very quickly. the kids did not seem drunk at that stage-approx 4pm.

    I was there and it didn't seem that bad to me at that time, about 4 pm. If it were so bad where are the photos or the videos?

    I get the impression the Gardai cause some of this by controlling drinking on sutton beaches and banning the dart from stopping there. It heads to howth. Then misery. Then with hundreds of teenagers being corralled back to the station something kicks off and it gets exaggerated on social media.

    Hard to know what to do. Nobody I saw was drunk, or too hostile but I can see why families would be intimidated.

    From the Indo

    Gardai were called in to break up a massive brawl involving up to 100 youths that erupted on the seafront in Howth, Co Dublin this evening.

    A Garda spokesperson confirmed that "a public order incident" occurred in the popular tourist spot.

    However, no arrests were made.

    There was a large Garda presence at the scene, where a “large groups of youths” confronted each other on Howth Harbour.

    Iarnrod Eireann responded to a garda request this evening, whereby trains did not stop at Sutton station.

    A number of people took to Twitter to report what they'd seen.

    One user tweeted: “Just saw a kid steal a phone from 100 other kids in Howth. They caught him. It did not end well.”


    Another said: “Killings between Coolock and Ballymun in Howth.”



    Every summer now at the first sight of sunshine, the scummy good for nothing wasters from places like Coolock and Ballymun invade the respectable environs of Howth, create mayhem and get each other pregnant.

    The most shocking thing about the article above is the bit that says " no arrests were made."

    All of these useless scumbags should be locked up for disturbing the peace and the beach should closed off to all except the decent hard working taxpayers of Howth


    At least the mostly decent people of Coolock and Ballymun are getting a day's break.

    If they were fighting, it's a bit different. I agree I have absolutely no time for people who think young people simply hanging out in a large group shouldn't be allowed to do so, but if there's violence and aggression involved then by all means arrest the lot of them.

    My best moment on boards 51 weeks ago
    Since the sun put its hat on Dublin has seen riots on a beach in Portmarnock, a gang of feral youths in near Dalkey smash up some poor chaps car while he was in it, that same gang terrorise passengers on a bus and last night a train was invaded by louts on the journey between Pearse Street Station and Maynooth. Blood was spilt before the Guards arrived.

    Rather than wring our hands at the horror of it all, is it time to just acknowledge
    that there is a strata of society that will never be reformed regardless of best intentions and state spending and that sterilisation of the Skanger class is the best way forward. It won't catch all the bad genes but certainly a large % will be wiped out without killing anyone.

    Ireland fares OK in police numbers.

    It leads the world in police invisibility though.

    Who the hell would want to go to Bray?

    Bray only has a bloody reputation because this is what we had to put up with for nearly a quarter of a century when the Dart arrived. ie. Every skanger in Dublin flocking out to Bray at the weekends.

    Very little home grown trouble in Bray relative to its size and population. Bray would encompass Dun Laoghaire to Dalkey to Cabinteely to Foxrock and back to Dun Laoghaire with Sallynoggin in the middle. I'd imagine if you add the crime statistics for all those areas together and compare them to Bray you will find that Bray actually has an enviably low crime rate.

    Back in 2006 the Darts didn't run at weekends for the entire Summer due to line upgrades. Dublins finest had to find new playgrounds. They never came back en masse thank heavens. I couldn't help feel a little Schaden Fruede reading reports from Howth/Portmarnock residents about the Summer riots ever sunny weekend which seemed to start happening from........2006 onwards.

    As a result of Dublins skanger population moving on to pastures new, Bray Seafront has been gentrified and instead of having an air of menace and filled with dirty nappies and discarded cans and 2L bottles of lager and cider with a smoldering blackened Bray Head in the background, it is now vibrant and colourful and full of thousands of happy families, walkers, joggers, picnicers, students, artists etc etc There is a thriving cafe culture developing.....and I haven't seen Bray Head on fire in years!

    Now if only we could dispel the lazy impression people have of the town and get more investment going and get the Main Street vibrant and buzzing like the seafront, it will emulate the resurgent Modern Brighton like it emulated the Old. Get your hands on property here while we still have this undeserved reputation and the prices are lower than they should be. Where else would you get a place with better transport links to the City than most parts of the actual city itself. Beuatiful Promenade on your doorstep. Bray Head and Cliff Walk on your doorstep, Wicklow mountains 10 minutes up the road, Glendalough 25 minutes down the road, M50 linking you to the west of the city and the airport only 35 minutes away. We even have a micro climate nestled as we are between the Wicklow and Dublin mountains and sheltered by them from the worst of the weather.

    They have to more tbh i live in an area where there would be a lot of those teens going mental starting bonfires in the park and trashin the place mugin people guards drive on and do nothing, no wonder they organisze these big beach partys and trash the place nothing will be done. They were organise gang 'raids' on a shoping center loads running in taking what ever they could get. Was left to security staff. Guards did feck all.

    Completely unrealistic, there'd be no Gardai left to respond to actual crime in Dublin every weekend if this was the order of the day.

    Booze down the drain just inflames the situation and ties up more Gardai.

    Not enough cells to accommodate drunk teenagers.Never mind drunk adults once pubs/clubs close.

    Where do the those "acting the maggot" go once they're in the van?

    Its just teenagers acting the bollocks at the end of the day.Guards show up,send all but the most unruly home and that's it.Happens in Clondalkin every weekend,but we're not on the dort line so it doesn't make the news.

    I'd heard that story about the Dart closure before, it sounds like the best thing that ever happened Bray. I was never in Bray pre 2006 so can't comment on what it was like but in the last couple of years I've been out there several times walking to Greystones and I think it's a lovely little town and it's on my list of places when I do eventually get around to buying a place for myself. It's right beside the mountains, has great walks and excellent transport links. Eventually they'll link the Luas to the Dart at Bray so it'll get even better.
