The Irish doin us proud yet again! : (

The fact that the ages are so varied and that it also involves a woman is it a family that were arrested

The difference is Katie and John Joe don’t box out of hatred ….. These stupid morons tho are a class unto them selves . They are chickensh1t cowards and their passports should be revoked immediately. Shameful carry on.

Bunch of dirtbags!

Sad to see that once again some Irish abroad are ruining the once friendly reputation we as a nation had.
Shame on them!

People actually go to that dump?

Being them back to face the wrath of our judges. They would be given a 3 month suspended sentence. The Garda must be pissed off processing for rape cases and other crimes when they just walk away scot free.

I can just see the girl now,”get ur hands off me fella use’dirtbirds” he never dun nothun” we only got here today!

They should be put in a boxing ring with Katie Taylor and John Joe. See how hard they are then.

Ah yes the lowest common denominator of our fair isle raises their heads (and fists). I’ll be red thumbed to bits for saying this but I personally have no doubt that these people are our tax payer subsidised ambassadors on their 2nd or 3rd holiday! Yet again the rest of us who can enjoy ourselves without disgracing ourselves, our families & our nations reputation have been tarred by those who have never had to take responsibility for anything in their subsidised lives. Red thumb away, I know I’m not the only one here who had reached this conclusion.

Shame on them…!

What’s with these street fights and the Irish…another man is in Beaumont hospital after a fight in Galway, it seems to happen a lot, maybe I’m wrong?

I’d rather go to Syria than Benidorm, I expect nothing less from anyone who picks that kip as a holiday destination!

@Joan. No mystery why this happens. Alcohol abuse.

I’ve read all 46 comments here… And in fairness I agree with the vast majority – indeed I’ve green thumbed many – but… Is there even a slim chance that possibly this (supposed) family were intervening in the robbery/assault of a young female tourist or on their way back to their digs and were set upon/robbed by a north African gang who ended up getting more than they bargained for in a self defence manner of speaking?!? Let’s be honest – being arrested by the guarda civillia without any questions being asked wouldn’t be too unusual!!! AND – it’s only being reported by a tweet and very little details by the ‘JOURNAL’ – they probably are skangers but may be hero’s we should be proud of – it all got very negative after the first comment -

Just a thought…. ;)

The usual outcome of sending the great unwashed with their tramp stamp abroad skobies skangers and gem heads

happens everywhere and to every nation English Irish American polish everywhere why would it reflect any country.

“Let ye who has not sinned cast the first stone….”

Here’s an eye-witness account from the Costa News site:

“two sides to every story – i seen the incident in question. two lads left a bar that their family and friends where drinking in and were verbally and then physically assaulted by one moroccan guy handing out flyers. when the two guys hit back no less than 7 other moroccan guys attacked the two innocent men + had them on the ground beating them. one of them got away and signaled for help from the bar. 4 irish guys came to their aid and all the attackers ran, one of them fell and he was then assaulted by the irish gang. if he was big enough to hand out an unfair punishment to outnumbered youths he only has himself to blame for the attack that happened on him…”

WTH!

I wouldn’t worry about the Irish reputation abroad too much.

When anyone hears you speaking English they assume you’re English, though you may disabuse them off this notion when you’re sober as you get progressively drunk you cease to and people assume “it’s all the same” anyway.

So many of these incidents only serve to further destroy the English reputation abroad.

I tweeted this story to the Journal this morning, they didn’t even say thank you.
