    He's also rude to other speakers, unaware of the political and sociological developments in Ireland and quite obviously stupid.

    Some of that would be more bearable if he paid any tax here.

    I would question how much the journalist actually attended class, made a fool of himself. I don't think either speakers did themselves any favours.

    Not really a fan of Casey but this is a little bit of a setup.

    In general, the whole traveller debate in Ireland is crying out for a reasoned and compassionate debate about the glaring disproportionate social issues in the travelling community, the bogus ethnic designation and how the avoidance/suppression of said honest discussion actually condemns future traveller generations to a future of social issues and marginalization

    As it stands though, the debate is colonized by the familiar political extremes.

    No they want travellers held accountable for their criminal actions and entitlement culture

    Why does he even want to be a politician, he seems to be a complete gob****e who knows nothing about politics? I’m baffled :confused:

    Alas, some do. And I'm bemused by how anyone tuning in tonight would be taken in by this snakeoil salesman.

    It isn't going to be sorted on prime time chat shows nor by this idiot. I have never called a politician an 'idiot' btw. It's a first for me.

    TBH, I agree with you Francie. He is waffling.

    Fair play to him though for highlighting important issues though.

    I'd agree, as a left leaning Liberal that I don't particularly like him but he's the wrong person making some valid points in the wrong way if that makes sense.

    No. We want respect from our fellow citizens. We want our fellow citizens to contribute to the running of our country. We want all citizens held accountable for their situation.

    People were so desperate to have something done about travellers they would have voted for anyone who queried the ethnic status.
    That’s the reality that needs to be faced up to.
    And putting a traveller ucd graduate working in Pavee point isn’t going to change things.
    I wonder how many travellers are employed in Pavee point.

    Have we ever seen such a loaded interview in all the years of watching this f##ked up, nepotist ridden, insular, waste of taxpayers cash, embarrassment of a State Broadcaster than this!!!! When you consider that this show has interviewed some shower of gangsters over the years!!!

    No problem saying the issues need to be talked about. But this guy is just divisive, ignorant, self aggrandising and short of several marbles tbh.

    Interview with Casey was a sham and farce, thankfully it all backfired on Tubs and his audience plants.

    I'd love to know how many questions he fired at Casey versus every other guest or even politician he has interviewed.
