📣 ANNOUNCEMENT Notice regarding comments targeted at Travellers and Roma
Can't believe I'm having to write something like this again only three months after the last one...
There has once again been a noticeable rise in the use of dog-whistles and other derogatory comments against members of the Travelling and/or Roma communities.
As a reminder, ethnicity is legally protected characteristic in this country, therefore comments such as the following fall under our hate speech rules:
- Dehumanising language
- Calls or support for exclusion of members
- Calls for or support for violence against members
- Implying members are responsible for actions carried out by other members is not allowed
- Slurs and dog-whistles (including but not limited to utterances such as "knacker", "culture", "culture boss")
- Statements of inferiority aimed at members
The Travelling and Roma communities remain open for discussion in this community provided it is done factually and respectfully.
Any and all dog-whistles used against the Travelling or Roma communities will be removed, and the offending commenters will be receiving community bans starting from 14 days.

Christ On A Bike The wasting of big (and presumably expensive) fireworks in broad daylight by eejit scrotes
I may be in a tiny minority of Irish Redditors in actually enjoying fireworks and the mini-displays put on by random folks on Halloween, I do realise that this is considered sacrilege in these parts - but one thing I imagine we can all agree on - what the actual fuck is up with eejits setting off big display fireworks in the middle of the afternoon? Newsflash lads, you're supposed to wait until it gets dark so people can actually see the feckin' things!
The mindset of those who do this, I will never understand. Just listened to a massive multi-shot barrage going off not too far from where I live, at 2 in the afternoon, nice bright day, presumably that's a few dozen quid at least down the drain for what sounded like an impressively powerful display box that nobody got to see. The clocks just went back FFS, they'd only have another three hours or so to wait to have been able to see what they just set off.
This is a daily thing now, what's up with it? I realise a lot of these folks might be a few shot tubes short of a battery, but setting off big fireworks in the brightest part of the day just defies even the most idiotic logic 😂
Is this a Dublin only issue or has anyone noticed this elsewhere? It's been happening daily for about a week at this stage!
