    I know of a fella in mooncoin who stood up to a traveller a few years ago, he ended up with 28 stitches in his face.

    Ordinary people are AFRAID to stand up to the travellers because they know that they could probably end up in hospital if they did. A lot of travellers don't give a crap about what laws they break as they know theres less chance of them being brought to book for it than a settled person. And then the travellers have the likes of the equality authority and pavee point sticking up for them and not criticising them as well.

    Agreed. But, in life in general, a lot of people tend to avoid confrontation but more so in the case of a traveller. I know I certainly wouldn't stand up to a lot of them.

    Aisling Court is a small little development just off Hennessys Road. It past Blakes Lane and before Bunkers Hill as you head towards town direction.

    Oh that's what that place is called. You learn something new every day.

    Front page news in the Waterford Today anyway. Not saying too much. Reactions from city councillors and a few small facts.

    Did say they were using member of the Public Order Unit whatever that is. That may be how they've been able to have two Gardai posted on the Carrickpherish Road.

    A guy back home got married recently and his house was robbed by persons unknown. He got into a bit of a scuffle with a group of local travellers who he suspected and got beaten up. Thats not the end of it. He has been robbed twice since by persons unknown.

    AFAIK theres 2 young kids living in that house.

    These scumbags don't give a **** who they hurt/maim/kill.

    Infractions issued to those who cant read the charter. Ill make it simpler this time and quote the charter;
    [*]If you feel the need to go insulting the travelling community in Waterford, certain areas of Waterford, or certain people in Waterford (Add your own minorities to this list), whether it be using derogatory terms, insults, slurs, or the like, please expect a swift banning from the forum.

    Yes its a sensitive topic. But no, if you cant discuss it sensibly you will be asked to leave the forum.

    Stick to the charter and to the topic folks.

    Also a failed petrol bomb attack in St Herblain at around 1am. The petrol bomb failed to break through the window. House was unoccupied at the time.

    Jeez its getting like Limerick. Whats needed here is a higher presence of Gardai, probably armed. Sticking to the city center isn't going to solve the problem. Sooner those CCTV cameras get in operation the better.

    Are they picking unoccupied houses on purpose or is it just a coincidence?

    This is continuing to make national headlines
    Two new Waterford arson attacks probed
    Thursday, 17 July 2008 11:11

    Two more arson attacks in Waterford city in the early hours of this morning are under investigation.

    No one was injured in either attack, which gardaí say is the sixth arson attack to take place in Waterford since Saturday.

    One attack happened at a house in St Herblain at around 1am but the house was vacant at the time.

    The other incident took place at Manor St John sometime after 3am and it is believed the house may have been wrongly targeted.

    These latest attacks are believed to be related to the ongoing fued between two families that erupted on Saturday in Waterford.

    Anyone know if these are Deise families or blow-ins from Limerick? ;)

    they are unfortunately Deise families and probably known or at least heard of by most Waterford people

    in other gossip, i was out picking up the missus from the airport (work) on Tuesday night and there was 2 Hiace vans in the parking lot with a gang of Travellers waiting for the last flight from Luton. Thankfully whoever was supposed to be on that plane either wasnt, or somehow evaded being seen

    They were there around half an hour ago. No cops as far as I'm aware. Parents saw them over there so I'm not too sure of the size of the groups but apparently they look like they're going to start trouble.
