He could be done for aggressive begging.

And before they can, they either have to be witnessed by the Gardaí doing it (which they won't, because as soon as they see a Garda they're gone), or a statement is forthcoming from someone who was victim of "aggressive begging", which would also entail a court appearance by that same witness. And as is always the case, people don't want the hassle of having to go to court, so there's nothing that can be done in those cases other than to ask them to move on.

The only other form of begging is if it is occurring within a certain distance of a financial institution, or near an ATM. And the beggars know this so don't go near those places.

they do sweet F.A. bout chasing after the roma beggers in fact i know a fella who had a shop in town that used to do that because the gardai were'nt and it was affecting his business havin them sat outside day in day out begging for change!!!and in fact 20 guards and i aint lieing were sent down to arrest him for catching two romas robbing a man in a wheelchair and giving them a few slaps for it

This is where that chap went wrong, he shouldn't have hit them, but merely defended himself if they tried to attack him. Instigating violence towards someone, regardless of the circumstances (even in this one, "giving them a few slaps" is not legally warranted), is considered assault.

The law is on the side of the criminals, not the law-abiding citizens or those willing to step into a crime. The Gardaí's heads are melted with the beggars, and they would do something if they could, but the law is the law, and they risk their jobs and freedom if they wrongly arrest someone, especially with the manhunt GSOC has on them.

Also, this doesn't help.

same fella tried it on me in a petrol station in ferrybank .
his mother was sick in kilkenny told him no didnt have a penny to spare.
anyone who lives like that is a parasite and opportunist.
they prey on the good natured and the vulnerable.

please do not encourage or let them get away with fleecing others.
do not let them bully and intimidate anyone

ive experienced the traveler guy a couple of times. told him ta f off in lidl long time ago. rang the cops a couple of times over him. theyre well aware of him but i do feel very sorry for the junkies around the place. we re not dealing with our drug problem at all and subsequently those with mental health issues.

I'm not sure if it's the same chap, but I was waiting for the bus in Tramore and this guy came up to me asking for money. Told him I haven't got any, but just enough to get into town myself. He stuck around annoying other people passing. He looked like a junkie.
