    Curiosity got the better of me and I looked it up and related videos on youtube

    These guys sure like to upload alot of videos..must be great to have so much free time to video yourself talking ****e.

    Sadly as shocking to most as this incident is I tend to believe this is just normal to those involved and all the hysterics and shouting is just for show.

    Our political leaders really need to sit down with those in Justice and An Garda Siochana and get a grip on what seems lately to be an air of lawlessness gripping the country.

    The revoking of ethnic status should be considered also

    Those tit for tat videos are laughable. Grown men and women acting like schoolchildren. They go back months, why are social services not involved and removing these vulnerable children from the home?

    They're too busy at the minute , some councillor used the word pikey in a tweet in 2011 and they'll busy trying to get a bit of sympathy/publicity with that .

    I guessed it straight away who was involved the minute i heard the word machete on the news. these people are barbarians, what kind of animal attacks another human with a machete? especially a child.

    Rte really play it down.

    Awful situation. Thirteen year old hacked with machete while holding/protecting an eleven month old baby.


    Seen the video of the attackers running in and the child sitting on the seat with the baby :(

    I'd look them straight in the eyes as I continued to pleasure myself. It's their own fault for not knocking.

    because the parents would successfully sue the state for large sums of cash

    FG's ethnic status move has done nothing but locked further generations into the cycle of violence and criminality.

    Last year I contacted Tusla in Mullingar about a 2 year old downing a pint on video. Found all evidence I could about the family involved (substantial amount online because they put it all out there) and sent it off to them. No response whatsoever, and as far as I know nothing done.

    I just don't get how it's Taboo to say "Traveller" on RTE. Everybody knows what they are, the word isn't racist, isn't it more racist not to say it? They will say "non national" so why not "Traveller"?

    the best part is, by campaigning for and getting a special ethnic status designation, they have successfully cemented their "otherness" and yet this otherness is unmentionable on the national broadcaster

    I remember, Lily. I contacted social services in Fermanagh. They did respond to me asking for as much details as possible.

    Not surprising but Joe Joyce who you are talking about lives (or lived) in Trasna Way, Lisnaskea. Same road this assault happened on. Maybe social services were in contact as I can’t see a social media account for him anymore.

    Not one mention of them being more concerned about making a call out video than the poor child welfare

    I just went to the rte site and the story isn't on their mobile site.

    Anyway, I read it in the indo site. It says this girl of 13 saved her nephew, a baby, by shielding him.

    So were these grown men in to kill a toddler?

    Not defending anyone in this story but the paramedics arrive at the end of the video so they must have called them before making the video.

    Unless I missed an earlier video?

    According to the kids granny, yes.
    Speaking to ITV News, the baby's grandmother, Elizabeth Joyce, said the young girl tried to save his life.
    She said: "They burst through the house, one attacker came to me attacking. I was screaming and kicking and fighting back. The other attacker went for the wee fella, but his auntie, who is in hospital in a very critical condition, she threw herself on top of the baby to save the baby's life."

    I was following the back n forth call out videos last night and Bernie Joyce (girls fathers uncle) denied anything to do with it but said they probably thought it was the girls brothers wife (mother of the baby) and that she would have deserved it.

    Not as much coverage of this incident in the news or any of the breakfast programmes. Newstalk haven't even mentioned. Compare that to the uproar there was over some comments that a FF by election candidate in tweets made in 2011. Why are the media so afraid of covering this ethnic minority community?

    Newstalk are too busy doing bizarre fluff pieces, on how Balbriggan definitely doesn't have a gang problem.

    A 13 year-old girl I in a critical condition and a 41 year-old woman is also injured after a gang of men forced their way into a house in Lisnaskea in Co. Fermanagh last night and stabbed them with machetes.

    This is a horrific crime. Someone who can do that to a child needs to be put away for life.

    I know I will regret that I have asked. But, do we know what their motivation was? Or where they just stoned out of their mind? It appears like there was a strong motivator...

    Family feud, possibly to do with young girls beating a retarded woman, believed to be their aunt, in the house.

    Saw some of the videos they put out last night.

    Hyper dysfunctional so who knows exactly.

    So its personal. What we do not want anywhere is that kind of stuff happens without any actual reason... the worst kind of crime, IMO

    I wonder if Matt Cooper will have the traveller comedian fella back on this evening to talk about this after he was on discussing those tweets the other day?
    How come when one of the traveller representatives goes on TV or radio it's always the same line of "sure it's only a minority" yet one look on YouTube gives you reams of videos of threats and violence.

    It's a minority of the whole population, and a majority of the traveller population...if they only paid attention in school they'd know the difference

    What's worse is I can guarantee that poor young girl will be left in their care.

    Absolutely messed up. No authorities mess with the travellers out of fear. They can let things happen to their kids like this, and it's overlooked.
