    Deccriminiling drugs, enforce the law, and use strickly evidence based interventions to support people as oppsed to the ideologically based intervitions.

    The point is the ones aghast at these areas and the drug crimes committed in them part fund it. RTE is rife with coke heads.

    I'm fed up with the Lawless family getting all the attention on Boards.ie. Isn't it about time that someone started a thread called Lawlor Ireland?

    The largest double standard (imo) is where thousands of farmers in the west are being told not to cut turf, because the land is a 'special area of conservation', yet the department for Communications, Environment & Climate Action are inviting applications for exploration and prospecting licenses at approx 60 different sites across Ireland.

    The sites are found to hold large quantities of gold, zinc, and several sites have evidence of diamonds.

    Some of the current ones in the link: https://www.dccae.gov.ie/en-ie/natural-resources/topics/Minerals-Exploration-Mining/statutory-notices/Pages/Statutory-Notices.aspx
    Are the licences for prospecting in bogs? The EU directive is specifically about conserving bogs.

    Do the farmers own the bogs they cut turf from? If they own the bogs then it might be fair to buy the bogs from them.

    The fundamental point is that the bogs should be protected, not exploited by individuals or companies or the state.

    Let me guess! You voted for Labour because you failed to understand that Pat Rabbitte's promise meant that it would definitely be Frankfurt's way unless Labour won an overall majority!

    Another aggravated Burglary. Another load of suspended sentences coming. We are not even safe in our homes anymore because our justice system keeps releasing these thugs back into society.

    They changed their mind about banning smokey coal this year because coal companies said they had to ban peat and turf too. Our domestic emissions are shockingly high

    They defy EU directives to preserve bogs. Meanwhile Bord na Mona have the ballsiest marketing department ever who present them as environmentalists.

    They increased the size of the national herd when it obviously increases our emissions. There is insufficient incentive for animal farms to convert to forest even though we have far too few trees.

    So basically their sudden environmentalist position is total bullish!t. The actions above are massively detrimental to the environment. Simple changes- don't burn smokey coal or turf - don't increase the amount of cow farming - don't destroy carbon sinks and natural habitats - these would be most effective and easiest to implement. Massive spending on retrofitting homes is bizarre in the context.
    Your sister is the cause of a lot of domestic emissions

    If being soft on crime worked then Ireland should be a crime free paradise.

    When will these tedious threads end?
    They won't. For as long as human beings have been articulating opinions in speech, we have been declaring that the sky is falling.

    Back in 1930's Dublin when people supposedly didn't lock their doors and read their catechism instead, Dublin actually had a major gang problem involving ex IRA men and violent, radically violent youths, frustrated by economic inequality, based in parts of the inner city. Sounds familiar doesn't it. They were called the animal gangs, and were a proper scourge.

    They went around town wielding all kinds of cruel and unusual weapons which were intended to maim and kill, and this in an era of Governments of 'Law and Order' where capital punishment was on the statute books, and indeed implemented.

    Every generation thinks the sky is falling. If you look at the statistics, though, murder rates have fallen fairly steadily down through recent decades and objectively, our society has probably never been more peaceful.

    Here are a few key reasons for high crime rates:
    • We are a nation of push overs, leftists and SJWs.
    • Our government insists on creating laws such as the MUP among others to punish the many for the mistakes of the few.
    • We are too sympathetic towards criminals to the point where others expect us to be tactful and compassionate towards them.
    • There are no proper deterrents in place to prevent laws from being broken. In other words, there is no fear of breaking the law.

    You haven't given any examples of crimes to compare against crime rates in other countries, for example our gun crime rates are amongst the highest in Europe most likely because of recent gang feuds yet our homicide rates are amongst the lowest in Europe.

    Lawless, my word.

    You lot need to go live in a real third world country and see what lawless actually is.

    Ireland is one of the world's best countries to live in. One of the highest's standards of living, safest, long life expectancy, low mortality rate, low crime rate. Sure we're not perfect but we're probably in the top 10%. If you want the "perfect" country go to Norway and see how that shapes up.
