Anyone know what this is about on the news?
Hear it involved bunch of foreign nationals beating shite outta each other on Dublin Road and apparently a gun was recovered too
Our ma wans fighting over Paddy's selection
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.
Must have been the quare auld scuffle.

QuoteMr Bradley said he believed most of the men live in the Republic of Ireland.
Foreign nationals - jaysus some of you lads are more partitionist than i thought ;)
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
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?
You are funny Orior :) I like you!
Our 'fellow Europeans' seem to have a hard time of it in the North.
A friend of mine from Slovakia lived in Belfast for 6 months. He said it was the worst time of his life. He said everyone was horrible to him, the people in shops, pubs, etc just would just tell him to leave, he would offer to buy people drinks and things like that but they would tell him where to go. Kids would throw stones at him in the street.
So eventually he just gave up on trying to socialise and just went to work, bought food and then sat at home everyday for the rest of his time there. He lived in Dublin for a bit and said it was fine, didnt encounter anything like that at all.
