If you think Travelers are above the law how do you explain that they are overrepresented in the prison population?

Interestingly, the fact that travelers are overrepresented in the prison population is often used as a justification for discrimination against travellers.
But many people who discriminate against travelers also maintain that travelers are, "above the law".
So which is it?

Can u explain so the large number of cases in Rathkeale? Did u also not see that funeral they had that took place in the height of the restrictions up in Faranree and guards just looking on. Yes they are above the law, have been for a very long time.

Your argument relies on the premise that travellers break the law in the same proportion as the rest of the population. That's false. The reason they are over represented in prison is because they are over represented in carrying out violent crimes.

The Gardaí are afraid of them and will only act when they have to.

Look at the photos from the party in Blarney, they are still on Facebook, publicly available to anyone. It's not the first party up there. They have a dance floor set up and disco lighting. The Gardaí had to act Thursday night, but there were no fines or arrests.... Says it all.

Are you trolling...

Do you honestly believe this incident in Blarney will be criminally charged at all?

Let's get real

Guards broke it up and no further action will be taken
And yes, that is wrong

I don't want to get into them being ''above the law'' it's not the appropriate thread for that discussion

Apple have been offering their employees a weekly test since early on in this.
I wonder if they'll offer the vaccine, too?

Important to state that it isn't coming out of any already allocated stock to governments and isn't driving up the price or anything.

Where will they it get unless they go direct to the pharma company’s

SleetAndSnow · 09-01-2021 6:12pm

530 cases today.

Good question. Perhaps not available to them.

Are they making the vaccines in ringaskiddy? I don't think they are, I'm sure we would have heard how great Cork is by now.

Not made in Ringaskiddy, the Pfizer facility in Dublin is doing some testing on batches of the vaccine iirc.

ofcork · 09-01-2021 7:49pm

Made in belgium afaik obviously ringaskiddy have access to products.

09-01-2021 8:00pm

I believe it's essential staff that are required on site.

Town is like a ghost town, I haven’t seen this quiet since March/ April.

Know it’s necessary but still sad to see.

To be expected and fair enough to be honest.

Hopefully that includes the magnificent ppl in Pieta House, my own then 17yrs old was in a deep dark place including planning his exit from this life, his counsellor a kindly kerry lady was without doubt his saving, gave him and us the skills to get out of this black hole, I can't stress enough my admiration of Pieta,
The child who went in there was a wreck, I did not recognise how sad he was( bullying at school)
He reached out himself thank God

I agree with the sentiment but Pieta House is unconnected with CAMHS. There is an obvious overlap in people using the services, and there is sometimes cross-referral, but that’s as far as it goes. Pieta House is non-HSE and is 80% funded by charity.

A friend of mine & a bunch of her colleagues from St Mary's in Gurranabraher got the 1st dose of the vaccine in the South Infirmary today. Doesn't sound like it's been meticulously planned as she only got the call last night to show up at lunchtime & some of her colleagues were only told this morning. Still great to see it rolling out of course. Met her for a (socially distanced outdoor) coffee afterwards & happy to report she hadn't grown a second head or anything

I'm hoping some or most of that includes a backlog. Are swabs out tomorrow?

Very worrying numbers

Over the last 7 days 0.9% of the population of Ireland have tested positive for COVID-19.
Not only is this the highest in the world as of now, it's one of the highest rates ever reported. Excluding microstates, only one country (Belgium) has ever reported more cases per capita.
