BBC still haven't updated from the "ongoing public order situation".

9 foreigners arrested, 1 suspected firearm recovered. I think the road is still closed.

Bitter sweet. Does this give our own warring factions something else to talk about?

Yours is naughty, mine is true.

I was at a funeral in Newry this evening which got held up on the Dublin Rd. After about an hour the police decided to let the funeral through so I got to see some of what was going on. There were a lot of police in forensic suits and they had a few guys handcuffed on the ground. The looked like foreign nationals from where I was sitting and they were also taking away a few cars. Maybe they were dissident foreigners, which would suit everyone.

Thanks for the clarification - foreign nationals - thank God it wasn't ordinary people at it. Newry really has a problem with outsiders. I drove through it last week and the number of people dressed in 1980s tracksuits begging for money was unreal! The trouble was expected given the number of blow-ins on the streets.

why does a row in Newry have to get any more attention than a row anywhere else. There are rows in Limerick and Dublin every day of the week and no one has to start a thread about it. Pain in the hole are ye Nordies

haranguerer · October 06, 2009, 09:59:11 AM

Thats cos both those places are complete s**tholes and noone expects anything different...

Is that why you have a hole where the Nordies should be?
