I've attended the Smithfield fair down through the years and to me as a non Dubliner it's a showcase for old Dublin.This ancient fair should be preserved and financially supported by the Dublin City Council .But charging an entry fee of 10 euro to the horse vendor is pure ridiculous.Imagine owners coming to the various horse fairs in the country like Ballinasloe,Spaniel Hill,Killorglin etc being charged 10 euro there would be uproar.The Smithfield Fair committee should be supported in their resolve to hold on to and preserve this traditional fair at Smithfield .
I used to live in one of the buildings beside it. Everyone at the buildings were trapped there when this was on - leaving, you'd see blood, I've seen people attacking each other with haymaker punches, I've seen badly, badly neglected horses and ponies there. 'Tradition' doesn't give carte blanche to people to ride neglected animals with two or three people on their backs through urban city streets to an area where people are fall-down drunk, and fighting, just because that's what people used to do 50 years ago or more - it was an appalling scene with, primarily, animal welfare a major issue to call a halt to it.
Demanding documentation from Irish families to enter their own community area, but not demanding documentation from tens of thousands of non-nationals to enter the country
I'm an Irish emigrant in the UK. Nobody has demanded any documentation from me in several years to prove my identity, other than banks etc looking for the usual.
@@vercoda9997 and? If Ukraine joins the EU and Ukrainians can then freely move to Ireland, does that then mean that unless Ireland also offers the same freedom of movement to India, population 1.42bn, that we must be far right racists? Do you see what total nonsense your comparison is?

So long as they behave themselves and clean up after themselves,I dont see why they shouldnt be allowed trade.

The traitors in government and in media need to be rounded up and charged with crimes against the Irish people.
