No that was a wedding I think, pretty sure not 'essential', not a bother on them at all. Why isn't the priest arrested for facilitating it?

You are right that the politicians and media would crucify the Gardai if they went in with battons and arrested 100 of them.

But you know what, the Gardai would have my support and the support of most law abiding people in this country if they did that every time the travellers thought they could ride roughshod over the laws of the country.

The Guards were able to break up a funeral of a man linked to the Kinahan cartel.

To enforce the law at this funeral would have required hundreds of officers in riot gear and at that it would have been a pitched battle.

Bear with me here, but it may have been possible to stop them coming in their cars at some kind of Garda traffic checkpoint. It's not as if they'll be driving inconspicuous cars.

Yep, well that's what's needed so.

It shouldn't be the case that travellers or anybody else knows that they can ignore the laws of the land if they are in a big enough group.

I'm all for it but all the modern left and woke class would burn the Guards to the ground for it.

That's the only reason they are exempt.

We all have to pretend a lad called Paddy McDonagh etc is if an ethnic minority

When you enforce that crap, everything else has to slide..

There's more right minded people on this island than there are leftists and modern woke gobsh1tes. It's just that those clowns make more noise than the rest of us.

If the garda had intervened the travs might have kicked off nationwide. Unfortunately it was probably the right thing to do to leave it alone.

And that is why they get away with the sh1t they pull. Nobody brave enough to tackle them.

The nettle will have to be grabbed at some stage.

Look at the video, the show of wealth is plain to see, the jeep pulling in is easily 60keur + Bet the registered owner cant produce a payslip nor tax return to show means if income. Same with those funding the hire cars, horse and carriage and everything else. The family will boast of it cost them 1000s to host the wedding.

And here we are like fools working 9-5 or those unfortunate to be on PuP while these ****ers laugh at us and sure whos going to speak up..theyll be destroyed in the media and online in minutes for being 'racist'

Fat chance there Woejus. At the height of the first lockdown last year when the Gardai were enforcing it far more and the traffic volume was the lowest I've ever experienced, a convoy of Travellers came from the UK with their caravans drove the length of the country and set up an illegal camp on government land in the Curragh Co Kildare and they weren't stopped. At the same time I was regularly going through checkpoints(legally as part of work), stopped, asked what was what and let through, while seeing others turned around. But a convoy of Travellers? Nada. They had to have gone through several checkpoints before they set up camp. I had driven the Naas road on a couple of occasions around that time and passed through at least two checkpoints.

The will simply isn't there on the part of the Gardai and tbh I can 100% understand why as they know hang well nothing will come of it, they won't be backed up by the judiciary and political class and will only face more hassle, threats to them and even accusations of heavy handedness. A far as criminal activity goes in this country it's an absolute joke and not just with regard to Travellers.

If this was happening in Russia or China we know full well what way the authorities would handle it. It's too pc over here. One law for them and another for the rest.

Wait till they get it and they'll all be in the hospital.

If all you want to do is drag the thread off topic and bash An Garda Siochana then it's probably best neither of you post in this thread anymore.

Can we all stay on topic please.

Agree. I have travelled the world and worked in most continents. We have a wonderful police force. One of my best friends is a Superintendent and he’s a credit to the force

What happens if that type of Russian of Chinese policing was applied to you or your family?

You have a point in that the police here are relatively powerless in dealing with travellers doing things like the OP mentioned, but heavy handed policing, while seemingly justifiable in extreme situations, can also be applied in the wrong situations e.g. many officer involved shootings of unarmed civilians in the US or even our own scenarios where Gardai assault an cell inmate as happened a few years back.

Should do...but not a chance. If anyone even tried we would have Pavee Point going from mealy mouth mumbling and fervently avoiding eye contact like on the news today to full on fire & brimstone about how its racist and de poooour peaple need the money! And just as many journalists (who have probably wrote several opinion pieces on how lockdown is necessary and folks need to stay home no matter what and how to deal with it) would be shrieking about how cruel and vindictive and racist it all is and it being the first steps to the rise of the far-right or the Gov is now a Nazi regime. :rolleyes:

Absolutely agree, this wokeism has gone too far now. The media, the establishment and the Gov are together in suppressing discussion about it. Time to fight back, big time.

I sent off my email a few hours ago, it was cathartic. See my post above if you wish!
