Locals warned as group of young girls ‘chased by teenagers with knives’ in Dublin
By Graham McGrath -21/01/2020
A warning has been issued to locals in an area of north Dublin after a group of girls were allegedly chased by teenagers with knives.
The incident happened on Saturday, January 18 and involved a group of young girls and three older teenagers.
The warning was posted in the Portmarnock Community Association group on Facebook on Sunday.
It reads: ‘To people on here with kids hanging around the Portmarnock/Malahide area.
‘My little sister and her friends were up by Scoil Iosa and three teenagers chased them with knives.
‘One of them even followed them when they ran into the sweet shop on the main road.
‘Gardai were called out and the lads got away. Tell your kids to be careful.’
Gardai confirmed that they are investigating the incident, but no offences have been detected as yet.
A Garda spokesperson said: ‘Gardai received reports of a male showing a group of youths what is believed to be a knife in the Hill area of Malahide on Saturday, January 18, 2020 at approximately 4pm.
‘A patrol was carried out in the wider Malahide area and no offences were detected at this time. Investigations ongoing.’
The warning about to youths carrying knives in north Dublin was accompanied by a message to parents, which read: ‘Please know what your children, including teenagers are up to.
‘You don’t want to be sitting beside a hospital bed, or visiting them in prison.’

Gurriers, as the cops once used to say.
-
In my day Malahidians were soft...
-
Wonder if they were black kids and the media aren't reporting it?
-
Gurriers.......Old Suttonians most of 'em.
-
Probably. White kids never carry knives... well, not in Malahide. I suppose it could be the gang that cut the Polish lad's fingers off in Artane... I think they were white but probably influenced by what they see the black and chinese kids doing.... so, even if it wasn't the blacks that doesn't mean it wasn't the blacks' fault.

More bollox made up by wankers looking for Facebook Likes .How many times does Eileen from Cabra or Una from Crumlin post about an unidentified van in the area lurking .These Bints have a phone to post on Facebook yet never think of getting a photo of the suspect vehicle .

The so-called music has a lot to do with it, no doubt about that. There was a case where one black did stab another on a train up above in Dublin (Harmonstown area I think) by accident while they were recording a cRap music video. I think the clue is in the social media post on this occasion though... asking local parents to keep tabs on their teenagers... or else! If the blacks were directly responsible they would have asked parents to keep an eye out for gangs of blacks roaming the streets.

Stanley knifes passer by!

Seems like they have adopted the American Protestant Knife Ethic

Where did the scum come from ?Near you ?

Rap music has been around since I was a kid and I haven't stabbed anyone yet.
I was walking me dog around Blanch a few years ago and told another dog owner to be careful as there was broken glass on the path.His response always stuck with me..he said in front of his own children simply "kids are bastards" and walked off.I think that's your answer Erm.

Could have been the beautiful seaside town where new mothers abandon their babies on the beach, they could have come from city center, could have come from anywhere but the old saying of “a dog doesn’t shit on it owns doorstep” comes to mind
-
Fight organised on Facebook and the lad who got stabbed had to be brought to Malahide Garda station to find a Garda... while the riot squad were busy drinking tea in Drogheda?
To be fair, we had the odd brawl with other localities' "gangs" way back when I was a youngster. Just if someone got injured they had more pride than to admit the other side got the better of them, generally just said they fell off a wall or something like that.

Crew that battered the Lad in Suir Road Last week are from Queen Street ,Rialto and Drimnagh they are like Hobos they Ride the Rails just looking for trouble .Garda know who they are there is CCTV .Same Posse attacked a cyclist at Red Cow a few weeks ago .I was involved with the Summer Project and local club for years the Vinnoes closed them down as they were afraid of being sued and the Insurance was huge .Kids need somewhere to go .
-
Was it the same gangs who organised the Artane scrap a few weeks back... where the Polish kid got his fingers cut? If so, they were local to that area according to Gardai / Media.
There were a couple of immigrants attacked in a park in Crumlin too, erm. Same gang or just racist activists?
-
Yes kids need somewhere to go but the parents are all working and can’t run the summer projects or have no interest in volunteering to run the projects.
If the government didn’t tax the shite out of everything maybe both parents wouldn’t need to work to just stay alive and then a parent would be at home for the children everyday.
-
Most first generation West African immigrant women don't work - the man is the bread winner - and they proper batter their kids, none of the my little angel wouldn't do that bollox...
-
Mass sterilisation programs...the traffic is awful.

The BIG issue is Garda Vetting .I was Chair of the summer project and a few volenteers called me aside to ask about vetting .Some had minor convictions like shoplifting from Woolworths when they were 14 or 15 and they didnt want the whole community to know so resigned .I had a pal ran a Schoolboy Football Club one of the most successful Clubs in Schoolboy History a Good mate of Big Dommos well know to the late Justice Hussey or O Huoghie .He was vetted and open about his past a great Football Man ,But he walked away after being abused by waster parents who thought the Football Club was a place to dump their kids on Sunday morning while they went to the Pub challenging him for not picking their kids who were not good enough to carry water bottles for the A team .Being abused and called out on his past he just said Fuck that walked away and the whole Club Collapsed one of the top Clubs in the Country .

Garda vetting isn’t the issue. It’s peoples mentalities that their past will come out. It’s probably already out there.

They arrived by "public transport".
What they skirted around was it was the DART.
A BLOWDART!

Had the younglad in the car who was hit over the head with a bar when he was cycling to work at the Black Horse Luas .He was telling me the gards had cctv and stopped and searched a few likely lads and found one carrying a home made tomohawk they had selotaped a kitchen knife to the handle of a hammer to make .
-
To be fair to the erm... not that I advocate being fair to the erm... I was listening to the local FF TD on the wireless and he painted the area as a complete shithole with kids running riot as a matter of course... seemed to blame the parents more than the Gardai.

A gang of teenage thugs set fire to a woman's hair during a night of chaos on the Luas Red Line.
Many residents in Dublin's south-central district are said to be afraid to use public transport following almost "daily occurrences" of anti-social behaviour and attacks.
A serious incident was reported on the line on the night of January 11 by the tram's driver while en route to Tallaght.
Luas operator Transdev has apologised for its security's "unsatisfactory" response time after the passenger was attacked.
In another report, the driver said the teenagers responsible were smoking and making racist comments, which prompted him to again call for security.
Uproar
He said the other passengers on the Luas were "in uproar" during the incident, which took place as the tram travelled from the city centre to Kylemore.
"Passengers were shocked that no security ever responded to this incident on the tram," he said in a complaint logged to the operator.
"Some passengers that were on the tram from The Point to Tallaght never saw a security guard and many advised me they were going to social media about this.
"Passengers heard both my calls to security and the response as they were up against the glass calling for help and couldn't believe what they were hearing."
The driver is now calling for Transdev to employ permanent security for its trams.
"I am embarrassed to work for the company after this lack of support, for myself and the passengers," he added.
"Luas put 'help fight racism' posters up at their platforms, and in 2020 a woman is set alight on a tram and for a 40-minute journey not one security guard was to be seen.
"This needs to change. A Saturday night on public transport and zero security - a shambles.
"Please, can we sort this out so another encounter like this can't happen, or at the very least always have security on the line."
In response, a spokesperson for Transdev acknowledged Luas security was slow in responding to the incident.
"Security was deployed elsewhere on the lines at this particular time and did not board the tram on which the incident occurred quickly enough," the spokesperson said.
"This was not satisfactory and we apologise to Luas customers and those affected.
"Security arrangements are continuously under review and have been recently reassessed, particularly in light of recently publicised incidents of anti-social behaviour involving groups of teens in local communities along the Grand Canal close to Luas stops."
The company said it will continue to review its security and work with local community gardai "with whom we have an excellent working relationship".
One week later, gardai confirmed a youth was arrested for damaging the inside of a Luas Red Line tram in a separate incident.
"Gardai responded to a public order incident on Saturday, January 18, at approximately 5.40pm at the Drimnagh Luas stop on Davitt Road," a spokesperson said.
"Gardai encountered a large group of youths causing a disturbance.
"One juvenile who was in the group was in possession of a metal pole which was being used to damage seating on the Luas tram.
"The juvenile was then arrested."
Ballyfermot and Drimnagh councillor Daithi Doolan told the Herald attacks on and around the Luas happened almost every day.
"I use the Luas here all the time with my kids and am very aware of these serious incidents," he said.
"There's almost a reign of terror that's particularly targeted at foreign nationals.
"I've heard numerous stories about these gangs verbally and physically attacking people on the Luas at Drimnagh and also around the canal.
"If we want to ensure that people can travel safely on public transport, gardai have to be there to protect them and respond accordingly when they are called."
Mr Doolan will be raising the issue today at a council meeting at City Hall.

No Rodent just local feral scum .We have posted about this stretch of Luas loads of times If we know then the fucktards running the service know its a fucking shambles .This scum come from Queen Street ,Rialto and Drimnagh the Luas is their plaything .
