    Not advocating anything like that, just if they want to be treated properly by society then they must behave civilised is all

    I agree 100% The overwhelming majority of young male travellers are thieves and scumbags. Never heard of a traveller that worked. Very little education.Live on the dole and drive around in new vans, caravans worth a fortune! Why are people afraid to admit this?

    I can't understand why a rant against travellers is called racist. You do understand that travellers are the same race as most Irish people, don't you?

    its self inflicted that they, the irish traveller, are on the margins of our, irish people, society. ive read a few books on the culture, some very harsh examples from irish travellers themselves. they don't treat us with any respect (and we them), they look upon us as unholy animals.
    this cultural clash will always keep the segregation, its a pity they are on the rise in laois or anywhere else, as its inevitable to lead to a local increase in crime, paranoia and illegal garbage disposal. that's fact, not racism.

    I am not racist, really I am not. have no problem with anybody of any creed or color coming to Ireland once they are willing to contribute to society. Travellers have always lived of the very state that they say refuses to give them a chance, when in fact millions has being spent on trying to educate them and keep them out of trouble which I have no problem with and if it helps a few I am all for it, but the fact still remains crime rates for traveller makes is extremely high and what's more they seem to get away with most of it

    Probably because it's illegal? They were looking to have things said or done against them, classified as hate crimes a while back Iirc. Dunno whether or not they succeeded..

    Actors. You've seen them so don't pretend you don't know them.

    Also personally know a few welders and mechanics as well as removal men and a carpenter who are travellers. All solid lads.

    No I wasn't. I said I have never met a traveller that worked. There might be some but I haven't met one. How am I a liar?

    Yes you are correct I have seen such actors, and now u mention it I know a fella that changes tyres and he is a sound buck, but I am afraid they are the expection to the rule, have a read of the court pages in any local newspaper in the country and you will see the norm
