Gardaí have arrested 12 people today as part of a crackdown on organised thefts by a Romanian gang in Dublin.

More than €30,000 worth of property, including mobile phones, cameras, clothing and cash, was also recovered when officers raided six houses in Tallaght and on the North Circular Road shortly after 5.30am.

Gardaí say the gang specialised in distraction thefts at ATM machines and in pubs and clubs around Dublin city centre.

Nine men and three women - aged between their teens and mid-40s - were detained in this morning's raids.

Gardaí say they are all of Romanian origin.

I don't use AH, and you can stick your racist remarks where the sun don't shine kiddo.

Btw, are you calling me a liar?.. Is there not a problem with Roma beggars on various traffic junctions all over Dublin, are most of these people not exploiting some sort of affliction?.

Will they be remanded in custody, or will they be let out on bail (what a joke)? 90% of the Romanians here are here illegally - you are only supposed to be here on a work visa, or on holidays. Any Romanian found begging should be immediately deported - that's what would happen in a proper country with a functioning administration.

I didn;t call you a liar, I called your post "borderline racist".

I presume you mean Roma people. Well, if you are correct then no European country is proper or has a functioning administration. They have been all over Europe since way before the ottoman empire.

They were the first to come under the radar by the nazis!

Like Mairt, I have never been bothered or scammed by the Roma people. Touch wood....

Deformities don't really bother me.

Its good this lot were caught, fair play to the gardai.


EDIT... Just saw the after hours discussion. The moderators have a full time job there, talk about ignorant bigotry.

Unless you're being sarcastic quite obviously I'm referring to Romanian people??? You know, people with Romanian passports? Do you think those people begging at traffic lights have Irish ones?
Here's some breaking news, we are not Romania's social welfare department.

A functioning administration in Ireland would be doing something about people who are not even entitled to be here begging at traffic lights. Like deporting them. Or taking their children into care as their parents are obviously negligent, and then deporting negligent parents. What do we do? SFA.

I know plenty of Romanian people, two of whom earn over 80K a year. That is a lot of tax

Yep, your right. You do SFA, except pipe off and jump up and down in front of your computer screen...

Tell them to drive their shiny cars to a busy Dublin junction during the day then. Some of their fellow Romanians could do with a hand out. And it might make them less homesick.

Could be worse. I could be out in the rain at a busy junction, putting on a sad face, hoping to scrounge some money and worrying about getting a car wheel over my foot...

There is a difference. Just so you know.

I doubt that could happen with your privileged background. Anyway, if things get bad for you, you can always move back in with your folks. (that is if you ever moved out)

How many junctions in Dublin are there? How many are manned by Roma? How many are manned by Romanians? I think your over-reacting. There are a lot of worse things they could be doing than begging to be honest with you.

There is a difference and there is also an overlap. One can be a Roma and not a Romanian; A Romanian and not a Roma; and a Romanian Roma. What percentage of Roma here are on Romanian passports? What percentage of people here on Romanian passports are Roma?

Don't know where in Dublin is the worst for people begging at traffic lights, but it was becoming a joke in parts of Limerick at one time. At lot was happening at Punches Cross, where there would be up to eight beggers in action, and they would be quite aggressive when they had a woman on her own stopped at the traffic lights. Normal tactics included trying the doors to see if they were locked, rocking the cars, banging on windows, and spitting on windscreens. There were also similar guys offering to clean windscreens, and funnily enough were just as aggressive to lone female drivers.

There was an incident there about twelve months ago that involved a few of those guys going at the car of a woman in her 60's and pulling her out of it, and a local ex boxer getting involved. It got a small amount of publicity at the time, but he handed out a right hiding to them after one threw a punch at him as he tried to help the woman up and he held onto two of them until the cops got there.

Jaysus... no wonder it was called Punches Cross! I'd say a few beggars got their heads punched in!

(Mairt, don't go to Punches Cross!)

Romanians are generally rather like the Irish: hard-working, ambitious, intelligent, with a peasant lust for education.

Most Roma are getting by as best they can.

There are some criminals who run distraction scams and pick pockets. *Some* of these are Roma.

The Guards (well done!) have picked up a bunch of these criminals; this particular bunch are Roma.

We can't really extrapolate a lot of other ideas from these basic facts.

Romanians are a separate race from Roma (Gypsies). I would wager that in excess of 90% of Ireland's Roma are criminals and/or beggars.

i am romanian and i'm proud to be romanian.i have been living and working in ireland since 2002.at my work place all the office jobs are taken by the polish, romanians and chech people,there is only one irish girl in charge of the fileing(and she doesn't do it right,can't make the difference between an invoice and a statement); the hard work in the warehouse is done by irish people....that says a lot. no matter what your opinion of eastern europeeans is the truth is that we are by far more educate than you guys, our bad luck was to de dominated by russians and comunism and ofcourse Romania on top of that has to put up with Roma people as well.
Regarding the Roma people :we know exactly what we are dealing with:the nastyest,most horrible people on earth.The situation is very hard to be controlled especially when Romania was acused by the Europeean Union as being racist twords them; our hands are tied ; when i see them begging at every junction it makes my blood boil, but in a way i'm glad you are getting a bit of your own medicine, to see what we have to put up with and why we are racist when it comes to them.
anyway talking about the 13 romanians arrested, you should not make such a big deal about it, because at every ATM in Dublin there is an irish person begging for money...what is the difference between them and Roma people? NONE
and by the way you should stop for a moment and think about the 2 polish guys brutally killed a month ago by some irish scumbags....that is a real problem not the fact that a few gyspies robbed 30 k....
and another thing EU means that people being part of it have the same rights no matter of what nationality they are, and you should understand and get used with that.....

I feel I'm in a better position to guess this than most in Ireland (I know plenty of Romanians in Ireland, have been there quite often and have talked to Roma people), though I could be wrong here. I'd imagine that the majority of Roma in Ireland have Romanian passports, as any Roma children born here recently will take Irish passports and use them over the next few decades when they migrate (that is if they can obtain Irish passports in the way I believe they're entitled to). In the same way we wouldn't be feeling, "Ah sure they're on of us now", Romanian people tend not to like it all that much.

I think the minority of people here on Romanian passports are Roma. Most Irish people don't recognise Romanian's as being Romanian as they assume they're Polish, Czech or Lithuanian. They're out there working and paying taxes. I know some I think are wonderful and some that hurt my head - the same same as any nationality I meet, including Irish obviously.

I'll emphasise that last paragraph for when you read crisstyna81's comments. There are plenty of Irish working abroad who think little of the people in the country they're working in. I think it's silly to generalise a whole country, but there you go, I guess that's what this whole thread keeps doing.

It's sad that the majority of ATM trouble seems to be Roma based these days in Ireland. Roma people who want nothing to do with that are ashamed to mention their heritage because of them.

ireland acused romanians as being racist against the roma people...that was before they came over here....well now u know why....

All along the Naas road coming from town towards the N7/M50 junction. And a few on the junction itself wherever there are temporary traffic lights. Another welcome benefit that freeflow will bring...
