I am happy enough that settled people are called to account for their crimes and that generally for most settled people crime doesnt pay. If the proportion of settled people in prison was the same as the miniscule traveller population that would mean prisons in every townland.

The problem with travellers and crime is that they are untouchable and anyone who mentions their propeensit y for breaking laws in called a racist.

I understand you are probably employed by Pavee Point and of course you dont want any questions asked of travellers.

Short and sweet...I'll take that as a further indication of your cowardice to engage..

I am happy enough that settled people are called to account for their crimes and that generally for most settled people crime doesnt pay.

Are you suggesting that Judges imprison members of the settled community but let Travellers go? If not how do you suggest one community is accountable and one isn't. There's alot of settled people invoved in crime so clearly many don't agree with you about crime not paying!

If the proportion of settled people in prison was the same as the miniscule traveller population that would mean prisons in every townland

Ah this old chestnut

Tell me how do you account for a far higher number of people in Mountjoy with an address in Dublin 1 than Dublin 4? They're all settled, they all live in Dublin....what explains the difference?

The problem with travellers and crime is that they are untouchable and anyone who mentions their propeensit y for breaking laws in called a racist.

Hold on - you just stated this 'If the proportion of settled people in prison was the same as the miniscule traveller population' - if the numbers are so high, how are so many 'untouchable' - it rather contradicts your theory doesn't it?

I understand you are probably employed by Pavee Point and of course you dont want any questions asked of travellers.

I asked you earlier not to make unfounded assertions about me and here you go again. I don't work for any NGO nor am I a Traveller, I'm a PAYE worker but I have a modicum of intellect and I'm able to see through bigotry when confronted by it - try it sometime, you could relieve yourself of a whole heap of hate if you tried.

The 'problem' with rural crime is not that the perpetrators are untouchable, it is that they can't be caught.
Why? Because the infrastructure to catch them isn't there.

There is zero evidence to show that those 'caught' are being let off or are 'not touched'.

We have an outrageous welfare state and fifty percent marginal tax rate over a very low income ... I’d call it left leaning government. Large public service , unsackable public and civil servants. What would you call it?!

One thing you can be sure of when someone is trying to spread a far right agenda .

They tell lies and they try to pick a group that's not them to blame all the ills on.

Lie. We don't have a 50 per cent tax rate. I don't know about you but ten percent more taken off me means alot to me than it appears to you.

Second we have a centre to centre right government as I've stated many times .

Stop with the mistruths.

Just pointing out the irony of slagging others as being thick whilst unable to spell the word correctly. I do agree though the grammar nazi approach is unnecessary. Sometimes idiocy can only be responded in kind.

A government that gives the likes of Margaret Cash €50k tax free in benefits and free heqlthcare for having 7 kids. And a free house down the road. Something the vast majority of working families could only dream about. And yet they are supposed to feel sorry for her???

That's extreme left socialism.

I have no problem feeling sorry for her kids. Not for the likes of her though.

We have a welfare system as part of the state. We don't have left government stop telling mistruths

Just watched Casey's interview with Tubs again. Terrible effort by Tubs to attack Casey as for the PP idiots even worse effort. Casey held his own, Tubs and the PP idiots came across as fools. Poor show RTE, backfired spectacularly.

If you think that a typo is ironic you're obviously triggered that you fall into the thick as a ditch category, unless you genuinely believe someone who can operate a smart phone can't spell thick, in which case you're probably not self aware enough to have been triggered.

How can the Travellers be both ‘untouchable ‘ and the highest per capita population in prison.

Contradictory, no?

You seem quite triggered yourself, maybe go for a walk and calm down. ;-)

Incorrect. It’s typos, the plural of typo. If ye’re going to correct someone then be accurate.

If you keep saying it, maybe like Casey's original guff, you might believe it.

He went on a chat show to debate his comments. That isn't an 'attack'.

Because in the minds of these bigoted fools if they're not all in jail obviously they're untouchable, the only good traveller is a dead one for these morons.

You keep asking this cohort to back up what they are saying, and like their leader - Casey, they fail miserably each time.

In my opinion it was a very poorly executed ambush. Didn't work for Tubs and co.

It was an attempt to boost viewers and judging by this thread, it worked exactly as planned.

I have seen you being repeatedly asked to back up your claims that Casey is racist and engaged in hate speech. No replies and when you did deflection from what you are asked. As I said earlier you are tedious.

It worked for me, and I dare say many others.
Casey was revealed- AGAIN - to be a shallow egotist, with nothing to say after loudmouthing some soundbytes.

He looked ridiculous at times, tried to goad with semantics and failed.

My first question............. "What factors make travellers TODAY an ethnic minority"

I'd say if you answered that either seriously or humorously it would result in a warning or claims of bigotry. Best off just letting everyone and everything identifying as whatever they want these days...

I never called him a 'rascist'. So you can forget that one.

And I said that generalised comments about a community is 'hate speech' imo.
