    I would have a bit more respect for people if they came out and said what they are dancing around, if you are going to say it then have the balls to say it.

    Theyd get banned if they were to say what they really think.

    Would you view the banning as justified?

    That depends. Would you like posters you perceive to be racist banned?

    Give me a look at the stats there chief

    I will, yes.
    .pdf available here

    https://fra.europa.eu/en/publication/2017/eumidis-ii-main-results
    P. 44
    [Those. With N. African and Sun Saharan backgrounds] are also more likely to experience discrimination on the job, with respondents of Sub-Saharan African background in Luxembourg, Sweden, and Ireland indicating the highest discrimination rates in the 12 months before the survey (21 %, 17 % and 17 %, respectively).

    Meanwhile, in terms of overall hate-based harassment, 38% of migrants from sub Saharan backgrounds in Ireland had experienced this.

    More here

    http://www.thejournal.ie/hate-crime-4105605-Jul2018/

    A separate report published in December of last year by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA) found that 21% of people surveyed from a sub-Saharan African background experienced six or more physical attacks due to their ethnic or immigrant background in the five years preceding the survey

    But yeah, let's go back to being irrationally scared of migrants stealing our women and our jobs -- usually said by people who were never going to attract either women or employment.

    What has any of this to do with the op?

    I guess if a few people aren't allowed to spout prejudices here whenever a crime happens, it'll be a case of their being a victim of lefties' cultural-marxist propaganda conspiracy to suppress the truth. So they let them speak to shut them up. But obviously some of their nonsense has to be countered. But then you're engaging with conspiracy and barely disguised racism, and that's not good either.

    Reminds me of the Gemma stuff on twitter. Hard to know whether to even say anything or not.

    +1.

    On the whole, I think if no one responds, they will go around in a circle and eventually get bored.

    It's impossible to argue with bigoted and racist idiots.

    Nope - do not start with the racial IQ profiling cr*p. Posts deleted.

    Stick to the topic please.

    Meanwhile Ireland has alarmingly high levels of hate-based harassment against immigrants and people descended from the sub-Sahara - some of the highest in the EU. Now that's something we rarely see in the media.

    That black people are shamefully subject to racist abuse in this country doesn't seem an argument that information that could helpfully lead to the capture of rapists should be withheld from publication. I think racists are going to be racists irrespective.

    Yes it feels pointless alright.

    What's the situation with minors being extradited from a country that Ireland has an extradition agreement with?
    Can it be done?

    Assuming they’re in the EU - a European Arrest Warrant is issued and they get sent back here. No difference for juveniles.

    Hope they get the right help and support and justice.

    In the grand old Irish tradition, you are so far behind the times its laughable.

    Simultaneously stealing all the jobs while being on the dole because they're too lazy to work and are handed everything. It's brilliant.

    How do you feel about that, Anto? A bit disappointed, or do you hate the travellers too?

    I'm sure they will console themselves with traveler hatred instead.

    Low level posting removed - up the standard and try to remember that the original topic involves sexual attacks on 3 girls. Have some bloody decency.

    It’ll be interesting to see if Pavee Point have anything to say about this. I don’t expect they will.
    I’m a little bit involved with the Cabragh Bridge saga (never ending) here in Thurles and the only day they showed up was the day Peter Casey brought the tv cameras.
    They were front and centre that day but they haven’t had one thing to do with it ever since, despite the case being in the High Court three times this month.
    I honestly can’t see the point in us funding Pavee Point if there’s absolutely nothing they can do in these situations .

    There is nothing on their website, nor on any other site I find, to say it was travellers.

    I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

    He was claiming yesterday they were teenage Asians.

    They'll be Martians later.

    I don't think anyone would claim it was reported on a radio station unless they were 100% sure.

    I say let them post what they want. It achieves two things:

    1) they can’t whinge about being silenced

    2) people can refute their points

    OK so now that it seems to be Travellers, does that make the crime more or less serious than if it had been immigrants? Or is it now more or less serious than if it had been white sixth-generation Irish who did it?

    Or is the crime equally serious no matter who carried it out?
