I'm surprised she didn't get disbarred for saying this

Judge Devins asked Sweeney, who is a social welfare recipient, why he couldn’t find time to clean the mess. “You are doing nothing else all day,” she said. “The Government is giving you money hand over fist. Why don’t you get up and do some work. I wouldn’t allow a child of mine next nor near to that, yet you are bringing a new-born child home to that filth and dirt,” she said.

Fair play to her. Now if only everyone in authority took the same stance.

Was there a shooting last night as well in Longford ?
Are the government ever going to tackle traveller crime and the impact on the law abiding community ?

They could start by making travellers work as opposed to unquestioned social welfare from the cradle to the grave !

The government are more likely to criminalise the act of identifying a traveller who engaged in criminal activity

RTE don't report on traveller crime and haven't done for some time

baldbear · 07-06-2019 12:02pm

Longford is ruined by these travellers . They have loads of kids & claim welfare. It would sicken you. Gangs stealing machinery & dealing. No wonder the armed response unit is down here.

Just look at the hatchet job that was done on Peter Casey.!!

Thurles fiasco nearing solution. http://tippfm.com/news/housing/cabragh-agreement-seen-progress-frustration-remains/

“Tipperary County Council’s agreement with Traveller families at Cabragh Bridge has been described as a step in the right direction by Councillors.

The stand-off began as families believed that the local authority had agreed to providing stables – however the local authority says that’s not the case.

Following mediation, it’s been agreed that the current site will be cleared, electricity will be removed, and it will also be secured, so there can be no further illegal encampments there.

However, the stables on the old site will stay, as they’re not on council owned land, and they’ve also been in place for more than 7 years.

Councillor Seamus Hanafin says that he’s happy with some aspects of the agreement, but it’s difficult to be happy with everything.”

All their short of now is jacuzzis for the horses apparently , Tipperary county council will have to increase local property tax for everyone else to pay for all the extras needed for travellers houses and stables .

Completely agree. I moved from Athlone to Longford (don't ask..i'm still trying to find out why) about 7 years ago, and I have heard time and time again travellers being up in the courts for anti-social behavior, apparently there is a feud between two families that has been going on for more than 20 years.
Nobody mentioned to them to bury the hatchet as they would more than likely take it literally....

I've seen much the same thing near here. I mentioned it a few posts back. I was talking to their next door neighbour (semi detached) the other night. They've been there 6 weeks now and he's gone out of his mind.

They stand outside smoking and throw their buts into his drive.

Children have tricycles, scooters and all sorts of debris strewn around the small estate making it very difficult for vehicles to come in and out.

6 weeks of rubbish (2 kids in nappies) out the back and the pit bull has the bags ripped to bits.

All sorts of unsavoury characters calling from town to walk their dogs in the rural area. Casing joints no doubt.

I met that man again yesterday. He told me the Armed response unit are regularly coming in and doing a U turn. What the f*ck are the council thinking about? I know several people from there and it's not them the guards are watching.

At least the guards are watching. But they can't be there 24/7.

Jesus I remember this like twas yesterday. The sister had been called as a witness to a murder trial.

2 brothers. One hacked the mans jaw off with a slash hook in the back of the van while the other one drove the around in circles. His mangled body was dumped outside the house where his young (think he was only 4 or something). Grizzly stuff. 2005 it happened.

Not a major incident, but I have had a bit of trouble with a few kids congregating on the stairways of my apartment block. I've asked them to clear off on numerous occasions. They know the code to the building so it's difficult to keep them out.

I arrived home yesterday evening and told them to get out as they were trespassing. They are only kids, no big deal, and they shuffled off. Except for one lad. He ballsed up and refused to leave and started pretending to tie his shoe laces. He started behaving as if he was inviting me to lay a hand on him.

I didn't rise to the bait and walked him out of the building and advised that I would be calling the Garda and visiting their parents if they entered the building again.

So what's this got to do with travellers? Well, I since discovered that he is from a traveller family who have moved into the estate.

It's only a small story of how our interactions with travellers are nearly almost negative. He is just a 13 year old kid, but his attitude and behaviour was shocking. Very very aggressive and absolutely no respect.

One thing my father told me was never get into an argument with a traveler. I'd advise you to avoid situations like the one you just described. There is little reason to these people. If they feel that they've been wronged there's hell to pay.

It also kinda explains my daughter's stolen bike and scooter in the last few months from a common courtyard, where she had previously left them unlocked for four years.

But it was the aggressiveness of the kid that shocked me. He was practically putting it up to me. I have to admit, I was very tempted to knock him the fxuk out. That wouldn't have ended well, but as it stands I have nothing to worry about with them.

I'd be very very very careful if I were you. I've dealt with travelers for years unfortunately. It was very silly of you to engage with them. The kids have no respect for anyone's property and the adults only negotiate through threats and violence. Do not make yourself a potential target anymore.
Smart thing to do is just quietly arrange to get the code changed.

As unpleasant as that was for you, count yourself lucky as that's an exceptionally mild encounter by standards here, if you go out to 13 year olds here (traveller or otherwise) they're guaranteed to square up to you.

Not the kids I'd be worried about necessarily. It's the presumably large extended family.

Ireland 2019. Where dante7 has been advised to stay away from 13 year old aggressive traveller boy. Boy who is obviously above the law and can go on to any premises he feels like. Boy who can steal dante7 young childrens bikes etc. Biy who will wait in the premises for dante7 when he enters his home. This is bloody ridiculous. Get neighbours together and inform the police. Little scum bag needs a good slap.
