    Seemed like a sound chap. He has integrated well into the Irish culture and society. These are the type we should welcome with open arms compared to the spongers, chancers and frauds.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    She wants more travellers to finish secondary education. From my experience there is nobody stopping them from doing that only themselves.

    Fair play if he did. He was a very likeable lad. And buying a house in Dublin on his own, fair fux.

    Yep. So its a good thing that as she is saying this as a role model.

    Fair play to her. If she makes a change in that respect I’ll be stunned. Literally stunned.

    Its obviously going to take a lot more than her as 1 person. The point is she is highlighting education as a role model to other travellers and thats a good thing.

    If you don't know by now that it isn't what he sets out to do - disuade guests of their opinions - you haven't been watching long enough.

    Travellers are getting too much for nothing, there seems to be no expectation that they work for a living

    If anyone acts the maggot in a bar, they tend to be refused service thereafter and their reputation follows them around. No matter what their background.

    And I know a few Travellers who don't suffer any discrimination in pubs.

    Tiernan is a genius in this format. It's a very difficult ad-hoc role but he does it so so well. The interviews are always captivating.

    At the same time I can't help thinking he really wants to tell his traveller-mother-in-hospital joke :)

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    That’s it isn’t it. They have a reputation for a reason. It’s not as if it’s completely unjustified. I’m sure there are ok travellers out there but I’ve never met one. Anyway, it’s prob a larger debate and I’ll be told I’m wrong so moving on.
