I can barely understand a word in this thread. Has it become a training thread for illiterates? :mad:

As serious a topic it is, I think I'll avoid this thread from now on so that I don't have a migraine for Christmas...

What a sad, terrible tragedy to have happened to such a wonderful man.

I knew Willie Stokes and can emphatically state that he was one of the nicest people one could possibly meet. He was, of course, related to some of those apparently involved in the ongoing feud, but he personally was not part of it and was only interested in living a peaceful existence with his wife and four young children.

It appears that he was targeted because he was considered easy to reach, which demonstrates just how far removed from the feud he actually was; ironically, if he'd been involved he'd probably have been more guarded against reprisals.

God rest his soul.

Well travellers have a bad name with all the violence,dodgy trading,getting goverment handouts,not paying tax etc for such a small "ethnic group"so you cant blame people for being very weary of them

People are "weary" out of ignorance. It is, after all, but a small percentage of Travellers who carry out the unlawful things you mention, the vast majority are as law abiding as anyone else on this island of ours.

It’s unfortunate some wish to use the reporting of this tragedy to emphasise only negative aspects of my community.

Willie Stokes was an upstanding member of the whole community of Tipperary, not just among Travellers. He was hugely respected by everyone who knew him and his death leaves a great sadness with those of us who were fortunate enough to have known him.

This innocent, decent man was murdered while his 11 year old son looked on helplessly. Now, other innocent people die in similar horrendous incidences all the time, but it just so happens that on this occasion it’s someone from the Travelling Community and as a result yet another opportunity is presented for those with anti-Traveller leanings to jump at the chance to advance their views.

tis always the way paddy. Same really that people only talk about cops not doing this and that but never talk about the good that they do do. I didnt know willie meself. From what I hear he was sound. I have drank with plenty of travellers over the years and most of then where sound. Some where tools but sure so are loads of the "settled" people.

Rest In Peace Willie Stokes.....I saw his grave Christmas Eve, This guy was liked by the traveler and settled people alike......

Not sure , i suppose they may have their own feud goin up their but im sure they are all in contact with each other as most travellers are ,

I heard from a mate last week ,he was in bar on barrack st and a load of travellers kicked off cops took bout ten min to arrive ended up bein brawl outside with pool cues , i actually think it was night of funeral of mr stokes ,so may be connected somehow , but cops took their time apparently they all met up somewhere to go together , i suppose ye could not blame them.
