    I have made my point. Total hypocrisy.
    But you were forced to admit yourself these weren't the same people. What do you want, a round of applause for finding people with different opinions? Do you even know what "hypocrisy" is FFS?

    That's depressing :(
    I'd imagine, though I could be proven wrong, that the materials typically used to make prefabs and mobile homes would be more susceptible to the fire spreading from one unit to another than ordinary buildings? Particularly if you include the fact that each separate vehicle would have a fuel tank somewhere. A fire in that scenario is probably a good bit more dangerous than an ordinary fire.

    An acquaintance of mine just heard that her daughters best friend died in the fire. She was the child of the visiting family, she died along with her parents, and apparently her mother was pregnant too. Christ.

    A terrible tragedy, a whole family wiped out it seems.
    Sympathies to the relatives and a thought also for the emergency services who have had to deal with devastating tragedy.
    RIP

    They will probably need counselling after that.

    Indeed. Must have been awful to witness / work at.

    Awful tragedy, RIP to those poor families.

    What else should I talk about? It is an unregulated part of society. Would you like me to engage in the faux sympathy here and ignore the problems?


    You can go on any countless number of threads if you feel you have to type something. When ever I passed it that halting site wasn't some washing machine ridden mess that everyone associates with travellers.

    There's infant kids dead here. Just show even a sliver of class and bite your tongue.

    Awful tragedy, between the fire in Dublin and the terrorist attack in Ankara, it has been a very sad day with all the lives that have been lost.
    My prayers and condolences for all affected.

    Horrible tragedy. RIP and condolences to their family and friends.

    Holy sh*t.. I was away competing in a Judo championship so I was away from news sources.

    First bad news of the day, my son has been involved in a serious road traffic accident but luckily there are no injuries (I thanked the heavens for that one), but then I read about all these people killed like this, and so many children ~ tbh I'm gutted.

    I can hardly fathom what this does to a family and indeed the wider community.

    May their poor sweet souls rest in eternal peace.

    Was up in St Vincent's A&E this morning. There were little groups of people just standing outside. They just looked shellshocked. Your heart goes out to them.

    An observation from yesterday, I went into a pub for a coffee earlier this evening with a friend, without mentioning the real name of the place- lets just call it ( the express ) I would go into the express the odd time now and again, I would know all the faces of the bar staff by now, earlier on though there were reserved table notices on all the tables in there, we were just about to walk out , one the bar staff told us we could sit where we would usually sit, I just asked out of curiousness what was with all the reserved notices on the tables, he filled me why the express done all that was' there were a large traveller funeral on in town, and the bar didn,t want any trouble or hassle, I went out cycling after 19.30 tonight - some nights I might go out for a cycle for some exercise , one area in particular I went past the whole 3 pubs in that location were shut closed tonight, as I said an observation, I haven,t commented or expressed any opinion.

    What has this got to do with the thread?

    That's quite an anecdote. You should stick it on your blog

    And this relates to the death of parents and their young children how exactly?

    A tragedy in anybody's world regardless of what bias we may harbour.

    Obviously, with this terrible happening, the rugby & the soccer matches tomorrow must be postponed.

    As neither match is in Ireland that would be impossible and completely unecessary

    No, but you are in contention for ridiculous post of the day.

    Obviously this is an unspeakable tragedy and we must not let anything impede our nations collective mourning. We must fly all flags at half-mast and beat ourselves up in newspaper columns and radio soundbites. This must happen.

    I've a strange suspicion that you're now trolling. Stop it.

    Everything is a suicide or accident with AGS, so no investigation required.
    Didn't think it was that confusing. Maybe you need to break sentences up into smaller groups of words for practice?

    You suggesting that the Guards won't bother investigating this is absolutely ridiculous and you know it. Considering what happened today I think maybe you should leave whatever pathetic, petty little problem you have with the Guards out of this thread. How does that sound?
