ROSCOMMON GAA FANS who had their cars wrongly clamped at Boyle train station will have their fines reimbursed.
A number of people had parked at the station and arrived home to find their cars had been immobilised.
Senator Frank Feighan said he has been informed by Irish Rail that the five Roscommon supporters will now get their money back.
He said Irish Rail had “admitted that there were some issues with the paid parking system at Boyle train station”.

“The company has said the matter will be resolved to the satisfaction of the affected car owners who discovered their vehicles clamped after returning from the Roscommon-Mayo game in Croke Park on Sunday,” he said.
Feighan said that Irish Rail will also apologise to the motorists affected.
He added that he thinks it is time for the rail company to reconsider the use of paid parking at Boyle station.
He said: “There are many other similar-sized towns along both the Sligo and Westport lines which do not have paid-parking in place. I think paid-parking at the station in Boyle is not only bad PR for the town but also for Irish Rail.
A spokesman for Irish Rail said: “We had some problems with the ParkByText app on Friday. We had announced we were not clamping on Friday. It was then decided to instruct the parking company not to clamp anyone over the weekend. Unfortunately, this message was not passed on and five cars were wrongly clamped. We will be reaching out to these people.”

So I guess I’ll just have to take the “journalists” word that yer man nailed it.
Only in p.c. Ireland would someone suggest a memorial wall for 1916 to also include enemy soldiers along with Irish heroes, worst idea ever and I hope it never happens.
What about the innocent people shot on the street? Who are the enemy, how do we define it and most importantly…
Why do a group of people living off the fame of their great grandparents get to decide what happens??! It is the absolute opposite of what republicanism actually means.
You think so that conflict monuments around the world should be torn down. Go to the beaches of Normandy & see the monuments for an occupying army everywhere. There are heros on all sides. There is 2 sides to every conflict. To deny that is to deny history.
That was blind boy’s point, inclusivity of all perspectives, not one particular grouping hijacking it for their own purposes. Sinn Fein supporter Robert Ballagh came across as an outraged fool at this suggestion.
Also slightly ironic to hear tax exempt artists complaining about equality in society.
Exactly- our war was against the British administration- the British soldiers were the pawns.
Yes, some of those soldiers would have enjoyed a chance to shoot a few Fenian “sc¥m” (as they may have perceived them).
But, how many of those soldiers fought and died bravely, as they saw they were protecting the innocent civilians of all persuasions? IMHO , probably most.
The bag man was bad but that toe rag Yates was 10 times worse. This is a man who was on about a pluralistic Ireland who can’t get by on ministerial pension. The same man who believes in an all encompassing that fled to The UK for an easier ride when his greed caught up with him. He wants to see the names of British soldiers on a memorial for those who laid down their lives for Ireland’s freedom; I wonder Ivan The Terrible, does that include those who might have been killed after they had formed part of the firing squads?
The course of history and time, for nearly every Irish person (and many British), has shown the Irish to have been on the side of right, and the British soldiers to have been on the side of wrong.
However, that makes their deaths even more tragic, not less. Those soldiers were mostly from poor uneducated backgrounds with little independent appreciation of the wider politics or the just cause of the Irish. They were reluctantly following orders and were filled with the British propaganda that the rebels were merely radical terrorists, endangering the lives of innocent civilians
Alan, that propaganda is still being circulated today by people like John Bruton, a man who surely wishes 1916 and the war of independence had never happened ensuring he never got his knighthood.
Heroes on the Nazi side?? Most French, Belgian and Dutch people would see American, Canadian and British troops as liberating armies, not occupying. You have a warped sense of history my friend.
The British soldiers are already commemorated on Poppy Day over in England, the Irish rebels wouldn’t be considered by the British on that day. JC the new English Labour Party leader suggested something similar in the English Parliament regarding IRA volunteers and there was uproar in the Houses of Parliament, why should we remember theirs who committed atrocities on this island if they aren’t willing to even recognise ours.
Will you obviously have never been to Normandy. I was talking about German armed forces. Book a holiday it’s well worth the history lesson. There were great soldiers & commanders in the German army of ww2 so I’m guessing the same applies for the war in Ireland when it comes to the brits.
@Wil, how many of the German 711th or 716th divisions in Normandy were conscripts, and how many were Nazi ideologues? What about Polish conscripts? How many of the 11 million Wehrmacht casualties (across all for TS)/ were ‘evil’? The war graves in Normandy rightly recognise death in war as a tragedy, not a goodies v. Baddies score sheet.
Amen VASR
PC statues of Black and Tans Psychopaths raping Irish Women and Children.
Sound just like what “Je Suis” the PC Rape Central Germany, Sweden, Belgium, France, UK etc Eurozone has turned into.
Did I read somewhere that Blindboy Boatclub lectured in History over in Limerick ? I could be wrong, I know he’s a very educated man at the very least. Good on him, a voice of a generation.
It’s hilarious when I hear people coming along saying this is a joke, sure he wears a plastic bag over his head so why take him seriously. Yet not 1 person is able to refute the fine and detailed points he made regarding the vision and failures of the rising. If more riled up right wingers would bother to learn about the rising as much as blind boy did the country would be a much more well informed place.
I’m sure RTE could have got someone else to represent Ireland’s present day youth than ‘bag head’(or whatever he calls himself). Is Ireland’s youth’ self esteem so low that they feel this is adequate representation?
Considering 1/4 of Irelands youth are abroad and the remaining 3/4 didn’t ask blind boy personally to go onto the show I’m not going to answer that non question. I represent myself & but I was more than happy to have blind boy represent my views on 1916 & modern society last night
Don’t speak about which you know nothing about Richard. You make yourself seem stupid. Are ya stupid Richard. I’d say you are. The rubberbandits are two very well educated and intelligent young men. No better representation if he knows what he is talking about.leave the fact he has a bag on his head out of it. Bagophobic.
‘Bag head’ spoke very well and brought up a few valid points about present day issues of course. But I feel having a bag on his head (tired of saying this) robbed him of validation and dignity and the people he was representing. Oh, me “trolling”? You are a touchey so and so No.2……..
Richard’s the sort of person who looked down his nose at punks or people with tattoos or anyone else who doesn’t fit into his view of who should be taken seriously. Talk about judging a book by its cover.
@Richard III they certainly would not be represented well by ignorance such as you have shown in your post. Plus let me tell you this, the younger generation of this country today are removed, thank crunchie, from the stain of civil war politics and the parties their grandfathers voted for, so they can see through the propoganda that somebody wearing a tie is better placed to speak to the people or lead us, far more than someone with a bag on their head!! That misconception , my dear friend is a thing of the past. The younger generation have seen how people in ties and suits have run riot over their generation that has lost them so many of their peers to emigration or worse, suicide.
I was a bit sneer like towards Blindboy in the past but listening to him weekly on 2fm with Chris and Ciara has really changed my opinion on him. He says some very intelligent things that I agree with him on.
Blindboy made excellent and hard hitting points, referring to the hard reality of Ireland for most of those in the 15 to 35 age bracket.
My children will leave Ireland for better life, better opportunity and fairer treatment elsewhere.
Ireland is now run for the benefit of a limited number, at the expense of the many. That’s how it is.
Mortgages and rents are unaffordable in Ireland. Health care is inadequate. Access to schools for non Catholics is increasingly difficult. We will get US style taxes and a further diminution in public services. Non income taxes will increase but not in progressive form .
Add LPT, increasing water charges to a private operator, broadcasting charges, increased cost of insurance, services and the basics in life. Ireland is becoming unaffordable. More will descend into poverty. The rich will get much richer. The lower income group will fall into greater and greater social deprivation.
And so it has been decreed by Enda ” US style Taxes” Kenny, backed by DO B.
You write some good posts Fiona but please stop repeating the lie that Irish Water is a “private” company. Yes it is a private limited company which means that the shares are privately owned and cannot be publicly traded. In the case of Irish water, it is fully owned by the state just like many other “private” companies owned by the state.
Reg, I am talking of the near future when water charges are multiplied by a factor of at least 5 and when DO B, if he can get over his difficulties with CAB, will purchase.
I would have a different view if Irish Warer had been established as a dedicated statutory corporation, as was ESB and Bord na Mona for example.
What gave the game away was the initial requirement, later reluctantly rescinded, to provide the PPS number when registering and the lies I received when I sought written answers for this.
By the way, an investment bank was retained to advise on the potential saleability of IW and the range of potential buyers.
IW is ideally positioned, from a corporate legal perspective, to be sold off in a market sale.
As an interesting exercise, assume 1.5 million fully paying households in Ireland and then take the full sist of expensive water provision in Ireland, the total annual budget in Ireland, even after the supposed slim down and yiu will get an average and astonishing price her household.
Fresh water supply is a very expensive instrastructural investment and very expensive to maintain.
The more that water is conserved, the higher cost per unit of water since most of IWs costs are of a fixed nature.
Many of your points are true but I have asked this question many, many times and nobody has ever answered. Who will sell it?
No party is advocating the sale of Irish Water and there will be no requirement to consider it as the state finance stabilise. With the mistakes made in the UK by state privatisations it is now realised that core state assets should be retained is state ownership. Despite the deep recession we have just experienced, no significant core assets were sold.
An FG dominated Government will sell IW on a market sale. FG Christian Democrat ideology favours privitisation of utilities despite the previous bad experience in the UK and in Ireland.
It would required very simple legislation, a maximum of 2 weeks work in the Parliamentary Draftsman’s office, to prepare a simple Bill to establish IW as a statutory corporation. I know of 2 TDs who offered the heads of legislation privately to Government but we’re decisively rebuffed.
We actually don’t need a Constitutional Referendum on this, merely primary legislation placing IW on a long term statutory footing, but that will not happen. DO B would not permit it. DO B is keen to replenish his coffers.
I agree that we don’t need to put these kinds of things in the constitution. However FG will never be in government on their own and even if they were the public outcry and pressure would be overwelming. It won’t be sold despite your constant references to DOB.
Then look at the purchaser, who on their right mind would buy it? It won’t be self-financing for many, many years. There would be large scale public opposition to paying a real private company for water. They’d be off their heads to buy it!
Labour would have no difficulty supporting the market sale of Irish Water. SF would agree to get into power. FF is expedient. Renua would be strongly supportive and FG would dress it up as sold to reduce the National debt.
Once the level of water charges is increased to break even, there would be massive interest. Getting hands on a large customer base, the entire households of the country, is a strategic play. It is of massive cross sales value. The customer database is worth a fortune even without the revenues from the water charges but the water charges revenues will help to pay for the customer database.
I mention DO B because he has already started to ring fence the support area do for IW in the same way that he actually acquitted the Mast sites for the GSM masts even before he bid for the 2nd GSm Licence in August 1995.
Reg, if you think it hasn’t already been sold you are being naive. At the very least memoranda of understanding will have been signed. What remains is to get the infrastructure up to scratch AT PUBLIC EXPENSE prior to sale. I note that the fact that Paris, Berlin and a number of other places had to re-municipalize water subsequent to privatisation because of public revolt over it. Strange that ;-)
Grrr…. Journal… Do some testing… It is impossible to post.
IW was set up for one reason and one reason only, to privati$e our nations water supply. To think otherwise is either, naive or purposeful self delusion.
We could have a referendum on voting age but not the future ownership of our water supply, that could be signed away by 2 signatures… Don’t make me laugh.
IW is the greatest betr@yal of our nation in 100 years!…..
Testing….
Is this for real they are trying to have a serious conversation about irish history and theres a fella sitting there with a plastic bag on his face. Gay byrne must be delighted with how his show has ended up
The Journal and daily edge journalist first to scoff at successful billionaire Donald Trump hold a pavee in a plastic bag up as some intellectual inspiration.
The self made billion that got handed 1 million dollars off daddy when he wanted to start a business after 20 years of privilege? Ah right yea… success isn’t valued with digits it’s valued with sustainability, harmony and happiness.
Maybe Trump will put an end to Tax inversion, repatriate trillions of US money and rid our country of tax dodging “multitaxionals” and their cardboard cutout Latte slugging “workers” in their decoy drone “factories” and “offices”??
We wouldn’t have to put up with so many featherbrained geeks loike, morto.
very ignorant remarks from many adults who never learned not to judge a book by its cover. Blindboy is more eloquent and historically informed than the lot of em. He spoke the harsh truth and thats just a shame for those who can’t take it, can’t accept the still very real oppression going on in this so called republic.
Hope you didn’t read Mc Kennas tripe a few articles down,now that was something I wish I had not read.He told a story it might even be considered as a fairy tale.
The rubberbandits are a group that does satire. They are upper middle class lads from the well to do part of limerick who rip the p1ss out of what they see in there city. Why is everyone so surprised that they can hold a serious conversation?
Actually their act is to reflect Irish people’s perception of Limerick people…using material suitable for that purpose, it is very clever and delivered by two boys with real talent.
He nailed it when he said that all his generation do is emigrate or jump in rivers.The reason for this of course was the decision of the FF Green Government tto bail out the banks and bondholders, the policy continued by FG, Labour Government. The decision to put the interests of bankers and bondholders before the Irish people must be the biggest betrayal in the course of Irish history.We make elect a Government but others outside interests control that Government.
Typical irish all we do is dwell on the past. The only one of the 4 that spoke any sense war the Rubberbandit. Why was the Robert Ballachulish there for? So what if a lot of the people in 1916 Artists or Poets, in 1916 they fought for a political reasons and that was for a free Ireland not for being able to write poetry or create more art. Why did he bring up the memorial wall I Washington about the Vietnam war? ?? That wall is for the 1000s of American soldiers sent 1000s of miles away to fight a war that basically had nothing to do with them. Not one alive today knows what really went on in 1916 and there is a saying g the paper never refused ink, so we can only go by what others wrote about it and accept their views if we want. And you can bet your bottom dolor the for all of those irish people who wanted freedom from England there also thise irish who didn’t want it as well. So if the day we gained our independence from the English is so important why don’t we celebrate it every year like a national holiday like the Americans celebrate their 4th of July ??????
Probably because he understands his history. He knows how the ideals of the Rising was undermined by the Right Wing conservative forces that became Fine Gael.
Read ‘The Irish Counter Revolution 1921-1936′ by John Regan.
Affectionate, passionate and frustrated criticism from an artist living and working in Ireland favourably contrasts with the mindless and vacuous “all is good news” flogged by parties in Government.
If we love our country, despite its faults, we have a duty to criticise what is bad and to seek its improvement and reform, even at the risk of antagonising FG fascist types.
I have no problem with affectionate, passionate and frustrated criticism. However I am sick to the back teeth of Robert Ballagh’s constant moaning. We have achieved a lot in 100 years, it’s not perfect and we could do much better and that should be acknowledged also,
The IMF rescue was not a dream. Poverty, homelessness and extreme inequality are real. Social deprivation exists.
Passivity, servility and placidity will ensure that the Governance of this country is not reformed and improved. We need a fairer, more just society, a more inclusive society and a society in which all have the opportunity, if they so desire, not merely to survive but to thrive and to excel.
Already, US corporations are decrying our failure in our educational system to produce innovative, free thinking, lateral thinking and problem solving type students. We produce plenty of lawyers, accountants, bureaucrats and such like.
We are too conventional, conformist and complacent.
Yes those things exist and more should be done to eradicate it. However when you look back at the poverty and equality of 100 years ago we have come a very long way.
Totally agree with you about our education system which is lacking in so many areas. I have been critical of it and the church’s continued domination of the school system in many topics here.
Hoping to go to Young Scientist today with the kids!
Ballagh comes across as a cantankerous old bore. Didn’t want to listen to or agree with anyone. Seems to be outraged that the 1916 rising didn’t result in Utopia.
I was in the audience last night and blindboy was easily the best one on the 1916 pannel. Ivan yates came accross as very conceited and arrogant and dont get me started on the other guy that was there.
Ivan Yates looks like my fundamentalist religious aunt. Spitting image. Out of th two I’d say its more to the pity for Ivan. Blindboy was on the way to playin a blinder!
It’s sad to witness all of the intolerance and bitter undertones in many of these blog exchanges these days. I honestly believe that an Ireland that refuses to accept everyone from it’s heroes to the seemingly insignificant, will never really be free. Alas we seem so far from the values of the Proclamation today.
I think it’s a bit of a pity that the only person that RTE could get to represent the new generation is a guy with a bag on his head. Now, don’t get me wrong, Blindboy is a legend, and his word is truth, but I just think his anonymity takes from his wisdom a little.
Funny I always kind thought it adds to the wisdom as once we know the person we then start to look into the personality, the history and the connections etc which generally muddies the waters of our perception towards them.
We received our freedom in the 26 counties, but successive governments gave it away to E.U. We are not a free people because blue shirts, don’t want to build Ireland from scratch, the E.U. is a Gravy Train for them, they sold us down the swanny.I don’t know 1 political party who will stand beside the people, most want to stay in the EU.Enda going on about how Brexit by Uk, would destroy our economy, well why don’t we join them, lets start afresh! Starting with the Punt.
What people need to realise is that the Irish revolution was mostly a load of bull.The British did not hand over rule without thinking of what effect it would have on its empire.Today we are a separate entity but we still speak English,we still use the Roman/British legal system.The Irish education is supplied by a pre-revolution company Gill and Macmillan.Hence why the truth about Irish famine is kept from Irish society because real statistics are hidden.Today Irish people follow British football teams,British music and watch British tv immersing themselves in British culture.So who really won the war?Also note that we are no longer Irish in any case due to the fact we are dictated by the European union for God’s sake.If you believe that we were independent and I don’t think we were,then we certainly are not since we joined the European union.All in all we are not whom we think we are.The Irish are a paradox,a people who truly are not sure of their true origins.Are identity is usually somewhere between Guinness(created by British man)a shamrock and gaa(also pushed by British to create tribalism in the land and divide up counties.Now let’s celebrate this utter non sense.http://www.historyireland.com/18th-19th-century-history/keeping-the-lid-on-an-irish-revolution-the-gosselin-balfour-correspondence/
Celebrating the past and not knowing what we are celebrating as the E.U. and bankers are doing to us what was being done in 1916 by the English and whom those involved in the Rising was fighting against?
If they were alive today those in that Rising would have another one against the Troika, E.U. and MERKEL, a FACT.
