But then I don't think you really want to see reports of white Irish settled people doing this. It doesn't suit some people's narrative

    Parties?

    You made claims about weddings and christenings etc...

    Don't be lazy. Do your own homework. It was a bumper year last year for marquees, wedding, communions, confirmations, birthdays. There was a case only in the last few weeks. Female politician & a large party. Wicklow if memory serves

    You can’t go out an spew some nonsense and then tell people to back it up with their own research. You’re the one listing it as fact, you need to show the evidence.

    You do know that last summer there were 100s of weddings like this & even bigger involving settled Irish people?

    No there was not. A lot were cancelled. Any that I knew that went ahead adhered to limits. We were supposed to be invited to a wedding last August but I be numbers were reduced substantially to back below the permitted limit. I know of a good few wedding that have started to take place over the last 2-4 months as people now realize it will be a few years before big wedding events happen again. They have all been very small affairs.

    Just to be clear, the traveller wedding didn't happen in the tent. A party happened in the tent. Wedding was held elsewhere earlier in the day & follower covid regulations it seems

    100s happened in Dublin alone. How do you suppose we went from almost zero cases to fastest growing rate in the world? This didn't happen by socoial distancing. Plenty of funeral afters too in Dublin with well over 100

    Again. Links.

    There are plenty of reasons the case numbers went up. What you're saying simply isn't true.

    That happened when pubs and GAA clubs reopened. Were you out of the country then?

    The couple got married in Northern Ireland where there are no restrictions on the number of people attending weddings, but receptions are not allowed. Hence the marquee.

    Afaik this still stands. Fines or costs are pointless.
    If legislation providing for the deduction of unpaid court fines from social welfare were to include a similar safeguard, any deduction from a person receiving a primary payment of €188 could not result in the person’s payment falling below €186, which is the relevant rate of Supplementary Welfare Allowance. In the case of a person who fails to pay a court fine of €300, only €2 per week could be deducted from the person’s weekly payment, and it would therefore take 150 weeks or almost three years to recover the unpaid fine. From an economic perspective, the administrative costs involved in collecting fines using such a process may outweigh the benefits of collecting the fine.

    The whine of the father of the groom, "I know the consequences etc. but they have nowhere else to go". Ahem wedding receptions for EVERYONE are max 15 guests OUTDOORS and 6 indoors, no big receptions for anyone at the moment. The sense of entitlement is staggering from the Travellers.

    Thousands of couples (including myself and my Fiancé) have either postponed or else changed to a small wedding.
    It doesn’t matter who you are you don’t deserve special treatment over others.

    I don't know what proportion of Travellers behave in an anti-social manner, but in relation to their numbers it seems to be out of all reasonable proportion.


    Since the pandemic began, I have seen multiple Travellers without masks in shops,supermarkets, walking the streets in large groups. I passed a funeral on Easter Sunday and I would estimate there were 200 with no social distancing or masks. This would seem to be common behavior.Add to this the illegal encampments with attendant littering, and I wonder why the authorities once and for all do not say enough is enough and disband encampments, and fine or jail the guilty. It must be soul destroying for those law-abiding Travellers to be tainted because of the behavior of the lawbreakers.


    Revenue and CAB and local authorities must ask where the unexplained wealth comes from.
