Stolen dogs found in Rathkeale

    We will never forget what you did Enda Kenny

    Never

    I don't think it made any difference really.

    If *anyone* steals a dog, and I mean anyone, as the law currently stands, what's the worst that can happen?

    No insult to people that love their dogs, but it's a dog, maybe a dog that you foolishly bought for an inflated price, but not the crown jewels.

    File to DPP and by then they will be back in England with the dogs that were NOT discovered. Awful stuff really, those poor dogs, the buyers are worse though.

    Enda Kenny bestowed "ethnic status" on Travellers, most of whom are total scumbags. Dogs are just a side event for them.

    Worst thing a Taoiseach could ever have done IMO. But there we are. They can hide under the umbrella of ethnicity. Not good, no matter what ethnic cohort you belong to, you must obey the law of the land. But but, racism, culture you know the rest.

    CAB is great.

    That ethnic thing should be cancelled overnight but it won’t be in fear of a stern opinion piece on the Irish times

    Am I surprised not at all, travellers were stealing dogs when I was a child, it’s nothing new, but again, we shouldn’t tar them all with the same brush.

    Gardai released the location on their fb and insta posts

    From the RTE article in the opening post:

    “The dogs, including Labradors, Springer Spaniels and Huskies, were found after gardaí searched a property in Rathkeale on Saturday evening.”

    Ethnic means scumbag in most cases with Travellers.

    Has Pavee Point made a statement yet? How much money do we donate via taxes to that organisation who support the Travellers and Roma ad nauseum. Sorry now, await a ban, but honestly.

    The articles only state a property was searched.
    They do not specify if it was a field, farm yard, shed or house.
    Even if it was a house there's nothing to indicate anyone was home at the time the search took place.

    Never going to happen now. Our media is muzzling us anyway. I really don't know what their agenda is. Surely they are as outraged as the rest of us with this kind of thing, not to mention other stuff.

    As I said before, CAB are not afraid of them. But even there the reports will not mention Travellers. But we all fekin know. It is an insult to our intelligence really now.

    Just because there were no arrests now doesn't mean there won't be any later.
    The DPP can prosecute in a week, or a month.

  • Registered Users Posts: 15,853 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Anyone who mistreats people in their rural homes and animals are just scumbags IMV, and honestly they have done both in spades.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,505 ✭✭✭✭Mad_maxx


    I have to agree with you there. EK enabled that cohort to hide behind ethnicity, and everyone is terrified of challenging them, even the Garda now.

    They rely on ethnicity being commensurate with race, but it is not, not at all, but that doesn't matter, we are still not allowed to call these scumbags Travellers. That's what they wanted, but when it doesn't suit them they call the racist card.

    Is there any media or commentator out there who will have the cojones to call this out at all?

    Only thing that seemed to work was CAB.

    Enda was under pressure from the coalition labour party to grant the tinkers ethnic status, plus he knew it would win him favour with the media who never really liked him, politicians have unwritten agreements with media, in exchange for favourable press,they deliver on issues important to the media class, (direct provision is the latest one )

    Enda isn't some green party or social democrats tosser who has zero experience with tinkers,he was a rural TD which makes what he did even more cynical

    It's indeed designed to provide immunity from criticism and prosecution, the tinkers needed it, such is the degree to which they're immersed in crime

    I’m surprised they even mentioned Rathkeake.

    Any comment from Pavey Point?

    The dogs were just resting in their account.

    Sure they have many defenders on boards.
    They won't come into this thread yet, because it's so obvious who did this.....
    But some posters will just report all the posts until the thread is closed. The mods will just bottle it and close up shop shortly.

    Indeed. Cannot mention the Traveller word ever here. But so far so good.

    We have not been using bad language or anything, just saying it as we all know it to be. But that is not allowed because the dog thieves were in Rathkeale, the bastion of caravans. So heaven forbid that might be associated with Travellers. Anyone can see it.

    I'll give it a few hours and see if the thread is still open. Just like the media. I wonder what drives them to deny what is in front of their faces!

    Every time theres a crime super obviously committed by travellers or the perpetually unemployed, I feel like somebody sits in RTE and goes 'don't put that in there, the perpetrator could be anyone and pictures 'Brian, 35, Manager of a tile shop , drives a 2010 Ford Focus and lives in Ongar' , damn you Brian'


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,853 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    The gas thing is that we as taxpayers are supporting Pavee Point and the Roma rump on there. Is it any wonder people are annoyed.

    Where is the Pavee P spokesperson now. Nowhere to be seen, but still getting funding and enjoying it no doubt. Time to fight back is now. CAB is doing a great job and long may it continue.

    Always find the PP approach disgraceful...The segment of society they represent are afforded the same opportunities as settled folks...Education, social payments(Back to School, Childrens Allowance etc)...But their parents don't see a value in education, so until that changes, things will remain the as they currently are

    This.
    With education this 'culture' of otherness and ignorance would have collapsed years ago. Children are kept uneducated to keep them from integrating with wider society.

    Their new line of attack is that they were bullied in school so they couldn't complete their education

    "Settled community" bullying the travelling people

    Yeah that's how I remember it


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,853 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes



    Not one bit surprised.

    However I don't think the LIFFO (Little Ignorant F from Offaly) would do as some Travellers do all the same. But glad he was called out just the same for the same reason

    With the attitudes in here, I can’t imagine many settled people allowing their children to befriend traveller kids. In that scenario, their lack of integration will continue, and it’s not all on them to be fair. Before everyone jumps down my throat my daughter went to school with 2 traveller twins in her class, they never missed a day of school, we’re well turned out every day and had manners that any parent would be proud of. As I said before they’re not all the same, but the blind, tar em all attitude towards them is a huge problem for their integration to society.

    Sorry but they are in the minority and it's a small one at that.

    A fairly sizable majority are...My sister lives next to settled travelers...The kids go to school and they are very mannerly, 2 of the girls have their eye on going to college...But they are in the minority...I know folks who work in social care & occupational therapy and their stories about issues within traveler families are proper scary


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,853 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Few want their kids to associate with Travellers. Honestly who would these days.

    But that is a Traveller problem not anyone else's really.

    The issue is that everyone else is expected to toe the line with Travellers. Nope. They have to do some work also.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,126 ✭✭✭screamer

    This is exactly the attitude that I’m referring to. Discount even the decent travellers trying to make a better life for their children. Awful, really awful.

    The Travelling Community can come across as uneducated and so on, but they are cute as foxes and know what's what.

    The rest of us are are just reacting really.
