And did Gardai interview said horse?

The nearest interpreter was in the stables at the Phoenix Park.

I hope the cart driver dies

Why? it was the horse that ran into them. I hope they turn it into glue.

One, you admit to being drunk so your evidence is sketchy straight away.

I've never drove a horse and trap down Leeson St so I can't give an opinion there. However I've been driving a taxi through that crowd for a number of year's and its terrible. I've had my car spat at, people jump on the bonnet, lie down in my path, and more recently had my rear passenger door kicked causing over €800 euro's worth of damage to a new €30k car!.

Although I've a pretty low opinion on those horse and trap guys, my opinion on that post-club crowd is lower.

Like alot of taxi driver's, I avoid that street after club hour's now.

Yes. Outside Rios.

I can competely sympathise with your perspective. It is disgraceful. Especially seeing as all those people are what the Indo calls the "young elite". My áss!

I still think driving a vehicle at and over someone is despicable though. No excuse.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If it was my car I wouldn't be going near there. I know people have to make a living but there is plenty of business heading out Donnybrook and Rathmines direction at that time without that craic.

Inexcusable on the skangers part that was steering the horse.

But Id say the majority were D4 heads were too ashamed to report it to the Gardai

One of the Horse and Cart drivers intentionally drove through a small crowd of people. He hit probably three or four of them. One girl seemed injured and I was surprised that those with her did not call the Gardai.

I looked up to see if I could get the reg number off the horse and cart, but then realised that they don't have any. The crowd of people were standing in the middle of the road causing a nuisance. Doesn't excuse what the guy did though. You should have seen the look on his face as he told the horse to drive on.

On a lighter point maybe the thread should be called "Hit and trot" or even "hit and gallop". Maybe the horse just thougt the grass was greener on the other side.....................................................sorry!
