No more evictions!

[Rossfan]

A buck from Donegal charged tonight and remanded in custody.

[Main Street]

5 Traveller families with "up to" 30 children  are due to be evicted by Dublin County Council from a primitive site in Clondalkin.

Bernadette McDonagh, a mother of five, said her children range in age from 15 down to nine.
"We can't go out on the road and suffer again," she said.
She said that the children were safe at the site, which is self-contained and surrounded by gates, and she added they have nowhere to go.

Lucky? they didn't get consecutive sentences!

It is interesting to read back to the early pages of this thread and see who was cheering on those lads that beat a dog to death and forced a man to eat dog shit.

There is a lot about this that is unsavoury, going back to some of the policies on loans and the delay in getting people out who did not pay. However, I'll bet you that the gurriers in Dublin do not get a sentence anywhere near as long for attacking that tourist who in no way had put himself in opposition to anyone.

Did the bank know the house was going to be re-taken or what? 

Is it not strange that a house has these people doing security? I thought the locks on repossessed houses were just changed?

What was different in this case?

These lads seemed to come from all over the place.  What is the connection between them?

They should be done for animal cruelty. I have zero sympathy for the ex UDR soldier and his goons who got beat up that night.

Without knowing the story surely theres levels to abuse/beatings and being made to eat dogshit surely crosses the line of most right thinking individuals

The UDA/UDR goons had removed the family and a bunch of supporters from the premises for the Bank on foot of Court orders

The attackers weren't a bunch of locals displaying spontaneous anger.
Possibly Land League/Gilroy/yellow vest types.
If they'd any brains they'd have pleaded guilty to some of the lesser charges which might have got them lighter sentences with sone of them suspended.

Are these lads then a vaild security company or what?

You'd presume they were a legit company. 

So, they were just going to sit in the house until it was sold?

The company were cowboys and were fined for masquerading as security men.

The UDA/UDR gang were a "Security Company" who carried out evictions on behalf of banks or others who had got Court Orders.

They might have been registered in the North and would head back there after they did their dirty work.
They were obviously occupying the site to stop the family or any supporters going back in.
