Bare Knuckle Fighting in Rep of Ireland

[Abdulmajid]

Can any paddy tell me if this is still legal in Rep Of Ireland?

If so, is the law enforced by the Garda?

[Cugetit]

Google it, Wobbly, or look it up in The Daily Mail. Keep churning it out.

[Whickerman]

Of course it's not and of course it is.

You can get quite a few vids on youtube though of pikeys bashing each other about.

Any particular reason for asking...?

[Abdulmajid]

Well Whickster, I am in Ireland soon and thought i would go and see some.

It just seems, with no culturalist bias, that what I have seen on TV etc always seems to have paddies as the pugalists. And not necessarily from the Pikey community.

[Whickerman]

Maybe not pikey as you know it, but wait til you see the special breed we have here...

Where in Ireland are you heading?

[Abdulmajid]

Liverpool to Dublin on a party boat, then staying there for a long weekend.

Sad to say a Stag party. (Not mine however)

[Whickerman]

Aaah - fiver says you'll hit Temple Bar in Dublin. It's world-reknowned for its culture of music, literature and dance. Or drink, vomit and stag nights. You may well get lucky in your pursuit of a scrap to watch, but sadly these days it's rare to find a Dub within a mile of the place.
