If you were surprised by this report where were you for the last 10 years?
The dogs in the street knew what was going on over the last 10-15 years in Ireland. Probably endemic of the general acceptance of the 'fair play to you if you can get away with it', 'one up on the system mentality'(no excuse) . It was only a matter of time, amazing(thankfully) no third party was seriously injured following this incident.
Irionic it happend towards the back end of the so called Celtic tiger! Maybe the problem has gone away, so we don't really have to deal with it.
If it happened around 2000 would things have changed?
Probably not.
Will things be any different in the future?
Probably not!
Irish-Trying to say it as I see it.
