Just as a heads up, it might be easier to ask in the legal forum

Everyone is discussing the ins and outs of the video, the bottom line is that road laws were broken, i assume the garda will arrest the multiple law breakers that took part in the illegal road race at browns barn.

If they find the vehicles were not taxed and insured, the footage is clear enough for reg pales and maybe to see tax discs they seize and fine.

Very simple.

This is a though one.

Admire their balls?

Lovable rogues?

Scum?

Maybe we should put it to a vote?

I am very well aware of what that vote would turn up as.

People care more about animals than humans.

The 6 designated €2millions worth traveller houses in Tipperary that Peter Casey called out still are unoccupied due to the lack of stables, you really couldn't make up the do gooder idiots in this country.

Wanna finish off that quote?


Which was posted after you started making accusations.

You have consistently attacked travelers with a broad unqualified brush stroke.

No one has stuck with the phrase road sulky racers.

If that was the issue then the word traveler would not be coming into it.

You could say road sulky racer.

True. They want their own stables.

Then why don't they get proper jobs and pay for them?

Repeating the accusations isn't proof of them.





Can I remind you of a post made in the equestrian forum where I and several other posters explained to you about harness racing? And now you're trying to educate me on the topic?

Not true it depends on the animals and the humans.
I don't care about humans who are cruel to animals.

I know about horses ...but i also know enough to know how much i don't know. Which is A LOT!

Ideally racing on a motorway ...its not ideal..nor safe.

I also know its impossible to stop it. I don't think its all travelers there is a whole illegal racing scene. I do think those lads are good enough to race at harness tracks.

People do ride on roads though ..i have ..not busy motorways though.

I also know fullbreds and standard breds ..gaited horses ..have to be well bred with attention to bloodlines.

I see no reason to blame it all on travelers. Just clamp down on illegal racing.

I am not sure you can though.

Admit a lot of Travelers look after their horses. And there are some bad apples.

Or bow and kiss my hand!

Just curious, have you met a lot of Travellers or seen many of their horses? Or are you basing that opinion on a few newspaper articles and videos on the internet?
I, myself, am not saying they are all bad. But then I haven't met all of them.

But the ones I have met, all were not nice people, and even less to their horses.

We're in broad agreement here.

The only cruelty in those vids ...the ones I POSTED is the potential for danger.

Which i admit is real.

But i mean you get horses and carriages on the roads all the time. They are not racing but still.

In the UK you can take a carriage down a motorway.

Obv its not the same as a race etc.

Its just an interesting point.

No doubt you will all crucify me. :rolleyes:

I don't know a lot of travelers. I don't think i know any.

I wouldn't come across many where i live.

No wonder you defend them... No experience with them...

Why is this all about the treatment of horses?

This is secondary to the total disregard of multiple irish road laws.

Fu*k the irish law abiding tax paying road user, is what this video says to me personally. I have 2 fingers help up to me and why should i try and have empathy to any plight that is sold to me.by the media.

2 seperste paths taken in ireland

Law abusing

Law abiding

Who comes out the better at then end.. not sure.

But morals and a sence of towing the line has the negative of seeing the other side pissing on your sence of right.

There a 17% likelihood of this being factually correct.

I can't deny any of that.

Not sure it would strike a chord with me though.

You have repeatedly referred to travelers in derogatory language. You have repeatedly sought to tarnish them all with the same brush stroke.

YOU are the one trying to derail the thread and turning it into a personal defense of yourself.

You are the one with a grandiose sense of self. You are not that important.

The jig is up...no experiences with travellers. Credibility out the window, if there was any to begin with. The rest of us aren't shrouded in bubblewrap.

Minding every little letter of the law just doesn't. (maybe i am just evil! :P )

There is no doubt if you keep racing on the road one day an accident will happen though. That would strike a chord with me.

But how are you going to stop it?

I just think its funny when people get so upset by it.

Ah here... if my eyes rolled any further into my skull from the irony and hypocrisy, I'd have to get them surgically fixed.
