    Gardai need ANPR across the entire motorway network, they need to be working smarter and not harder.

    Anpr only works for honest folk. Those tramps would just clone a plate of a similar car.

    I will bet you a months wages it was the 4 in that car that were disturbed breaking into a house in Athy. Would you like to take me up on that bet?

    Nope. They probably were. I didn't claim any innocence for them. I objected to this speculation as being claimed as facts.

    Not worth a shìte against vermin. Jail sentence of 25 years and not a day less. Soften the cough of a lot of these repeat offenders.

    That seems to be a bit of a problem these days. The perps don't seem to have any fear of anyone now.

    For every burglar there will be hundreds of "ordinary motorists" getting done for speeding and no tax or insurance if it was everywhere. Be careful what you wish for. ANPR can detect speeding by taking readings at intervals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,380 ✭✭✭STB.


    Hilarious. Where did I either claim authority over the law or even make claims about the law?

    A previous poster made a claim as fact. Pure speculation. The only things reported are suggestive rather than proven, except that they were stopped and tried to run. The Gardai stopped them on suspicion of being connected.

    Care to provide the proof/evidence right now that shows otherwise?

    Journalistic reporting and criminal conviction are vastly different things.

    There is nothing suggestive about the incident. Its a statement of what occured as reported to the press by the Gardai.

    Again your own claims that the only thing proven is that they ran from the gardai. What do mean by proven ? You'll have to be consistent if you are going down that road or at least look at what else the gardai will immediately allege. You should start here if thats the case.


    Not that it matters. These guys werent being stopped for a licence check. They were being stopped by an armed response unit as part of investigations under Operation Thor, as reported in the media.

    The girl who shot the baby in the leg at point blank range 2 weeks ago got bail because the Garda messed up.

    Sure rob a few houses in Athy and be back in Tallaght for your tea.

    Well excuse my conservative old fashioned view but they should be eviscerated.

    Once there’s a suggestion that they might have a slightly less sympathetic attitude if the criminals attacked them, they evaporate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,570 ✭✭✭MyStubbleItches


    Tell you what I just posted my opinion on a breaking news story.
    You have another opinion which is also fine.:)

    The judge will make a judgement which I am yet again fine with.
    Lastly I am glad I am posting my opinion from a distance instead of being caught up in that nasty incident.
    So I will wish you a Happy New year I am off to a party.:)

    Therein lies the problem for me. The judge will make a judgement and you'll be fine with it. I'm going to presume, although I shouldn't, that you work hard and pay your taxes, etc. The judiciary are destroying this country, taking a lot of money out of Joe soaps pocket day in, day out. Yet we're all fine with it.

    My father worked as a Dublin firefighter for 30 plus years and the disgust he'd have attending scenes like this. He's a tough resilient man and has been in situations you or I couldn't imagine. My mother told me the only thing that ever effected him greatly was an accident to do with trapped children. He cried for nearly two days before when he attended as a first responder where a toddler was paralysed in a car crash that was the fault of idiots like these. So forgive me if I have a little chuckle at the thought of this dirtbird laid up in hospital (which we'll pay for, though) for the New Year fighting for his pathetic life. He'll never offer anything to society. Nothing.

    Nor would I. I'd have been annoyed that the taxpayer would have to pick up the bill caused by them hitting the barrier. But, as a a democracy, we are fine with it. We allow this to happen.

    The witnesses he wanted to use in his objection to the bail application were understandably too scared to go to court, he thought he could read out their statements but the judge said that that would be hearsay.
    If he’d brought the state solicitor (I think ) it would have been fine.
    But he didn’t .

    And the liberal elite stand around him nodding their heads in sympathy before returning to their gated communities and ivory towers.
    Pavee point will be on the radio in the morning condemning the Gardai for the dangerous methods they use and alleging discrimination by just about everyone from the Minister for Justice to the picture editor in the Irish Sun.

    The Gardai need special powers to deal with Travellers. These people operate above the law.

    For such a minority, they commit a lot of crimes.

    The problem is when this is raised, its racist.

    Reminds me of the furore surrounding Asian gangs in Rotherham.

    It’s Being reported in numerous media about traveller gangs robbing people blind and murdering elderly people.

    Do you think it’s old folks on a day out.?

    It doesnt matter what their background is, I'd think you would agree. If they were described as 4 Finglas criminals, that doesnt mean that all people from Finglas are criminals.

    Are you the person who said that they were a member of the travelling community ? I'm sure you wouldn't condone such behaviour regardless of what your background is ?

    They dont need special powers they just need to enforce the laws we have. the law isnt different for travellers its just enforced differently

    I never said it wasn't travellers - wouldn't be surprised if it was. One problem is inferring specifics about one incident from reports of others.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,489 ✭✭✭boardise


    The case of bail for the would-be baby killer is startling to me. A judge does not trust the word of a law officer of the state and prefers to assume that people might make up statements taken in a controlled way as part of a criminal investigation. Why not slant the balance of credibility the other way i.e. away from the accused and if the statements didn't stand up in the subsequent trial -well then arraign the people who made them for obstructing the course of justice etc.
    I believe we're in terrible trouble in this country with the way laws are framed and the way they're interpreted by too many judges.
    I wish we could have longer sentences ,with more community service and criminals and their families paying towards the cost of incarceration. Also the system of unlimited free legal aid needs to be re-appraised.
    There could certainly be attempts at rehabilitation but if this failed to produce results, criminals should know that they can spit in the face of society if they wish but will pay a heavy price once convicted.

    It’s happened in the past, Sophie’s Law was written specifically to tackle

    It could be named after someone murdered as a result of a rural burglary, I am sure there are many ( too many)names too choose from.

    Ok. For reasons your keeping to yourself you want to pretend that these gangs of marauding violent housebreakers and car thieves are not members of the travelling community.
    Every time a gang is arrested and they appear in court they have addresses at hating sights primarily in Dublin.
    Do you realize that as long as people like yourself continue to pretend and insist that travelers are no worse for this type of thing then any other community, that you are not doing them any favored either?
    While you continue to deflect and defend there is no pressure on the many excellent members of the traveling community to rid themselves of the rotten ones.

    Well we have a whole range of Criminal Justice Acts that deal with specific problems-

    Eg theft, robbery, assault, drugs, road traffic, homicides, sexual offences, revenue etc

    These apply to every person in the jurisdiction..

    I dont understand what specific piece of legislation you think should only be enacted specifically and enforced only on travellers
