    It doesn't matter who commited the crime. The law in Ireland must be changed. No more suspended sentences for sexual or violent crimes. PERIOD. Be it Irish, Asian, African, travellers or any bloody ethnicity or nationality. Deportation after sentence for non nationals. Simple. No racism involved. Just simply accountability.

    You insinuated it was black taxi drivers without proof.

    And now you want me to prove it was travellers. Do you see how it works now?

    I can see the pair of yous are going around in circles. Was it travellers or not a simple yes or no answer will do.

    Its funny how people get banned/posts deleted for speculating it was black people but if its speculation about Irish* people then its fair game.

    *no confimation at all who the perpetrators are so its all still speculation

    it's pretty obvious who would though, and the type of people we all avoid, and the type of people women are already afraid of and who won't get in a cab with them.

    Really? An expert on traveller behavior are you?
    What type of people would?

    Turned out he was a judge & now the Gardai have been told to do regular raids on their area.

    Well if you would like to quote me where I said travellers are responsible for this crime, go right ahead. I simply asked if travellers drive taxi's.;)

    Because they have been allowed become a law unto themselves in Kilkenny. They get away with everything that it would not surprise me if it was some of them that did it
    Whoever it was should rot in jail

    Very sensible post.
    Nothing remotely racist - yet the usual "liberals" don't seem to be thanking it.

    says a lot.

    They are the real bigots, they hold certain groups to lesser standards - bigotry of low expectations.

    bit of a leap there help, it's funny people defending who we all know is more than likely responsible to look pc and enlightened, but then pour bile out over and over on this website against irish travellers, such hypocrisy it's laughable

    Whos defending anyone? If its Asian or Africans then they should be held accountable & deported but to say they travellers couldn't do it is silly because you dont know the ones from Kilkenny. They are a different kind of nastiness

    I thought you had to have a reliable source before you make direct accusations like that ?

    Yet you seem to have proof it was definitely not apparently

    Reality check for you.

    The journalism pieces on this clearly suggest/imply that the suspects are juveniles from the Travelling community. Conversely there’s absolutely nothing to suggest that the suspects are taxi-drivers, Africans, Asylum Seekers, or non-nationals of any description.

    No idea if the suspects are guilty, but gang rape is not unknown in the Travelling community, any more than it’s not unknown in the broader Irish community too.

    Anyone could, i gave my opinion i didn't think they would do it,
    a huge difference there, perhaps trying reading the post before embarrassing yourself

    oh right, and you have proof of gang rape in the travelling community then, if it's not unknown ? or is that just a random throw away statement ?
