I must try and uncover some pics from my line dancing days in Cloughleigh to ruin their credibility. Back then Garth Brooks and Cotten Eye Joe were as street as it got in Ennis. Every traveller in the estate was in jammed into that hall working on their two step in their Xworx and NAFF jackets.

Clareman

Ahhh the old line dancing craze, when every hall was over ran, thought it was a load of b0llix myself until I noticed that all the girls were at it, used to wait outside then, never twigged that they were there with their mothers and were going straight home

man did you make my day completely forgot about those they were the worst things ever awh classic thinking back

Joe Bloggs
Fila
and let us all remember

Clareman

Hey, if it had a Raiders logo on it was cool, if you wanted to be the ultimate in cool you had to have a pair of Joe Bloggs (or X) jeans, Nike Jordan shoes, Bulls vest and a Raiders jacket, not only would it all cost a few grand, but your clothes would weigh bout twice as much as you.

Now that I think of it I never had any of them, I was a very unloved child/teenager, must remember to thank my mother

Can't believe the flippant attitude to this escalation of violence in Ennis. Do you know what lies ahead? Limerick but worse because it is such a small town and the feckers are at all sides. Now is the time to take to the streets, to the airwaves, to the newspapers, demanding that this poison be stopped. They are too afraid to open their mouths in Limerick. But we in Ennis should not be so afraid...yet anyway. The Town Council is away with the birds. Give them hell on the doorsteps. Give them hell on voting day. There is a small window during which we can act to stop our town being destroyed and the people terrorised. We need to wake up fast.

BLITZ_Molloy

We're not being flippant.

We're just waiting to see if the Limerick package is any good or if it's been stepped on like the Leighs' one. (sorry, I've been watching too much of The Wire)

Seriously though, every town in Ireland is rotten with drugs. I don't see what the public marching around the place is going to do. I doubt any of the dealers in Ennis are interested in getting into a feud with the Limerick fellas. They'll just take over and the rest of em will go off selling drugs someplace else.

Stuxnet

we might get some proper drugs now

Clareman

What is it with people wanting to take to the streets? Drugs are the problem, people taking them are the problem, people getting knocked off goods is the problem, there's problems everywhere, Limerick is just down the road, but Ireland is such a small place that everywhere is just down the road.

There is no point in thinking that a counciler can do anything about the problem, there's no point in thinking that people taking their kids up town for a stroll will make a difference, stopping people doing drugs or buying stolen goods is the only way to stop what's happening

Someone has a vested interest in the status remaining quo, it seems.

Thanks Teadrinker. I'm glad someones finally called Clareman out on this. It's a ****ing conspiracy I tells you.

I can confirm also that this did happen.Its part of an ongoing traveller feud thats been going on for the last few months and its goin to escalate in the future.

I thought it was in connection with a few members of a Limerick criminal family moving into a house in the area.

no the shooting was done by a well known traveler family, fighting between themselves, no harm if they shoot each other tbf

And no harm if the other crowd mentioned would keep shooting at themselves either.

problem is when an innocent person gets caught in the crossfire like what happened with that rugby player in Limerick

If a Clare hurler catches a stray in tha dome then I'd expect there to be similar levels of hysteria.

The way the hurlers are going at the moment they'd either miss or they'd manage to drop the bullet

was talking to a guard who told me that a traveller family involved in the drug trade bought a house up there through a government purchase scheme and then sublet to a family from limerick connected to one of the major crime families in limerick. They did this to have them nearby for "protection" in a fued with another traveller family.

boysrbacntown

this is about cloughleigh travellers fighthing in ennis..what i would like 2 say,even when the gardai evicted one of the families from ennis there seems to be more trouble and drugs than ever,sayin that when the other family was in ennis there seemed to be a lot more law and order so in my opinion if they were back in ennis they would atleast bring back order to our small town. and you spoke about limerick fellas and shots being fired well we never got any confirmation about it off the gardai which is there job,because were paying taxes and we rely on the gardai to protect us. So if you want to reply i would more than happy to debate further on this matter. Yours Brenda

Jesus ye're worse than the Dubs, Have any of you people actually been to Limerick or do you just believe all the ****e the media says. Its no worse than cork or galway crime wise. And i felt a lot safer on the streets of Limerick after a night out than i did in Ennis
