Whats disgusting is the €110k spent purely on refurbishing it.
That seems like crazy money to me.

Thats why its really stupid, theyve already spent thousands and refurbishing it,
and all their stuff is gone, you can replace clothes and the like, but you cant replace family photos and sentimental stuff:(

Irish Public Bodies are a specialist insurance company, dont deal with the public for general insurance.

You don't think the attack was by other travellers?

Its a tough one to call, there are scumbags in both the settled and travelling community.

Yeah but traveller feuds take things to a whole other level.

Yeah, the house in Ballina, Co. Tipperary was burnt down in July 2009. It was subsequently repaired by Tipperary North County Council and the traveller family moved in, in August 2011.

This might be totally unrelated but I grew up on a council estate that had 5 traveller families on it and in the twelve years we where there evey one of them went on fire at some stage.

I was talking to one of them one day just saying how they all seem to have bad luck with house fires,

And he told me that theres mainly two reasons a travellers house will burn down:

1 is a member of the family dies and it was a tradition to burn the caravan they lived in, which for some weird reason carried over to houses,

And 2 was they where not happy with the house so they would burn it knowing the council would come along,renovate and refurbish to lot..

True story......

It's disgraceful that this house that the travellers earned with all their own hard work and contribution to society would be burnt to the ground like that.

The family that were meant to move in have been moved around 3 or 4 times. They were in Mooncoin before this, and didn't want to move as there was no pub near the new house. The house burning down means they don't have to move.

No source links, but I'm from the area.

Awwww, I was hoping it would have been one of the following :

Berties House
Dáil Eireann
Leinster House
Sean Fitzpatricks house.
Sean Sherlock's house

and I was hoping they melted inside.

I am disappoint.

No need to be a smart arse. They might not have paid for it or whatever, but the fact is that some arsehole burned down another persons house. It's still their house! Does that mean if someone is living in a council house for a few years and it gets burned down that it's tough luck? This country has gone to ****.

From the article: "The family lost personal belongings, including photographs, in the blaze."

Why would they set fire to the house after moving some of their stuff into it?

And we are assuming that the "settled":rolleyes: community carried out the attack by your inference?

Same thing happened in Waterford a while back:

And an example of the ludicrous sums of money being spent on rebuilding such accommodation:

There are indeed. But what is the ratio of scumbags to decent people in both communities I wonder?

As long as they don't move next door to me I don't give a toss.
I won't have a say though. The government will force its integration policies on us regardless. I already have 2 different types of gypsy living within 100 yards. Abandoned vehicles and begging really enhance the area.

so are you saying that it is ok to assume it was another traveller that set fire to the house?

Since you seem to think that every public sector worker is not much short of a scumbag, I'd say around 1:1
