That's shocking! Guessing that's animals belonging to Donabate Dexter? Find it bizarre that our local representatives are silent and cant help with this. I heard that the courts are being used as the reason that this cant be solved and yet swords courthouse is busy and open as normal!

They are well aware of this.
True, got automated response from estate management, maybe the more that report it to FCC and their local Councillors the better. Feel so sorry for the Dexter team they provide Donabate with a great service and looks like their not getting much assistance with this.

From a whatsapp group earlier today
As some of you may be aware, members of the Travelling Community. have arrived in Donabate on the grounds of the old Turvey Golf Club. Where the farm is now.
If you have concerns and wish to assist in getting them moved on you can call the numbers I've detailed below.
They are intimidating residents and amongst other things their dogs are worrying the animals.
Two lambs are now lame and the mammy sheep was so badly bitten it may have to be put down.

There are 28 apartments on the ground of the old golf club too as well as the farm.
I agree and the smell from their 'toilet' is 1 million times worse when the smell blows in the wrong direction!
There was around 50 caravans on the grounds of turvey golf club. There are still a lot left but hopefully the ones who left don't all relocate to another part of Donabate or Portrane.2
If any of you were consistently treated the same way that you're talking about these folks, I suspect you'd also begin to lose respect for your (likely temporary) surroundings as well. The small-mindedness, intolerance and snobbery on display in this thread is a lot more disgusting than any rubbish being left around IMO. I imagine none of you have ever taken the time to actually understand the situation that the travelling community find themselves in.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that Fingal CoCo shouldn't do something, of course they should, but the rotten attitude and unnecessary, nasty comments in here wasn't what I expected more from my fellow Donabate-ians.

It would be interesting to see if Ciaran held the same virtue-signalling attitude were a 30/40 strong group of travellers to set up near his home, with the associated unpleasantness that accompanies this.
Ken, the admin, is right, stick to facts and avoid mud slinging and an ill-advised generalisation of a particular cohort of society. So, the facts are thus: those members of the travelling community that have set up camp in or around Donabate on a number of occasions in the last 12 months have, as a matter of course and without exception, destroyed the environs in which they have overtaken without permission, left huge amounts of rubbish in their wake, been a general eye sore on the village and have inconvenienced locals.
Responsibility to improve the infrastructural issues rests with local authorities, however, that’s just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the societal issues associated with travellers, put simply, based on recent experiences in Donabate, travellers simply do nothing to help themselves and assimilate into local communities when they overwhelm private lands and damage property and/or grounds as they have done recently in Donabate.

Facts:
Illegally entered private property and damaged property in the process
Obscenities shouted at residents
Chose to dedicate and urinate at the closest possible point to private reaidents
Farm animals killed
Farm animals maimed so badly they needed to be put down
Residents intimidated
Illegal dumping
Objects thrown at residents
These are few of the things members of our community have had yo endure.
Regardless of committed these acts it is not ok and I would becalling for them to be reported too.
To suddenly have 150 + uninvited visitors regardless of their ethnic group behave like this is not ok.
I apologise if i have offended anyone with my comments. I hope this post clarifies that regardless who commits these acts I would be speaking out against it.
Broad sweeping statements about any group is not ok in my book either.

Typical nonsense by some social warrior up there. As always double standards.
We who commented on this are not generalising all of the travelling community. We are addressing concerns of the ones who have come and left a mess, intimidated residents, thrown all their rubbish into the trees in the park including feces, seen entering peoples estates, let their dogs attack farm animals and so on. Id be raising the same concerns regardless who did it.

Trolling I take it
You're that concerned about the plight of our "visitors" , why don't you invite them to stay in your home , they could use your fine toilet and washing facilities while you exchange cultural views.
Meanwhile back in the real world , I'm afraid I haven't been "woked" yet or suffer from "taxpayers privilege" , so please forgive me my lack of empathy , but I'm sure with their new recognised ethnicity they'll get accommodated somewhere which might alleviate their awful plight

Excellent post. It’s not fashionable for the cowardly mainstream media to report crime on ethnic groups these days. However if this was a group of holiday makers who set up camp illegally and committed the same crimes we’d damn sure hear about it.dearg11 wrote: ↑11 Aug 2020, 21:14 Trolling I take it

Oh no, I hope more don't arrive.there. The filth, mess and destruction if property left behind at Turvey is sickening.
They went out if their way to be as vile as they could be and left hazardous waste behind also.
Hopefully the grounds at St Pat's doesn't suffer in the same way.
