    It's like every group a certain few give the rest a bad name, luckily the settled travellers we have here are fairly intergrated in to our community and that's been nearly 30 yrs in the making, even when it comes to the kids one little lad that hangs around with the kids has excellent manners, I was quite taking aback when I first met him

    You be interested in a bit of roma bashing too?

    At least they try to hide their illegal activities.

    I've never heard anybody blame Travellers for Ireland's problems.

    Yeah, they get treated terribly by the majority of people but noone has ever said to me that it's their fault that the country is in a mess.

    They're a discriminated minority but they're not a scapegoat by any stretch of the imagination.

    I've never had a good experience with travellers.

    neither have most people whove interacted with them, the only people here who defend them are people whove never dealt with travellers.
