    Innit funny how come it's never mentioned why they are genetically different?


    It is mentioned, but ignored. I believe after the status was conferred six months later the results of a DNA study was released to explain the difference. No different than what you would get on the Arran Islands in no new blood was introduced.

    Nobody has yet come on here and explained how his comments are racist.
    I don't believe they can but I'm still here waiting.
    Come on now lads.

    Ah, can we have a game of cherrypicking settled versus traveller crime? Is that going to add anything to the debate do you think?
    We will try and outdo one another in depravity and violence...eh?

    You're the one claiming travellers don't kill settled people. What about Paddy Lyons?

    That's how this works as far as some are concerned they see no evil hear no evil when it comes to the travellers.

    It's always an answer for why they are right, the virtue signalling doesn't allow for any compromise as they are rigtheous and the rest are just racisits.

    I certainly did not say that.

    I asked you:
    'how many settled people where 'killed' that made yer man sure they were coming back to kill him'

    So far we have one person killed in a robbery scenario and another in a rape scenario.

    Is that enough for you to be 'sure' they are coming back to kill you, so you shoot them dead as they run away?

    The whole NPC meme seems to becoming a reality lol, no explanations are forth coming just labeling people racists and virtue signalling on an endless loop.

    In fairness,not excepting brand new houses because they didn’t have stables has to be the mother of all jokes!

    Hey a poster called dav3 claimed that calling Casey racist was only satire on his behalf. Unbelievable insult to people's that have suffered real racial abuse. It seems the leftists have highjacked the racism label to promote their own bigotry.If it weren't so tragic it might be amusing.

    Biggest joke is that unless they get the land and stables built there those houses will sit empty in a shortage as no one else will want to live there for fear of harassment.

    Ah get it right you forgot the half arce of land to accompany the stables. Although I read the families concerned are so busy rowing back on their claims they could challenge the O'Donovan brothers and win in a race.

    There's plenty more examples if you want them.

    And to answer your question yes, after taking a beating like that Ward would have regrouped, come back and killed him...if not he would have beaten him so badly he wouldn't be the same person again.

    Come on now lads.

    Just shows they have no valid arguments so just throw out outlandish accusations which is the common tactic used in all minority related discussions these days. It's also easier to spell for them than prejudiced which would be another reason.

    Can we start a campaign to elect Peter Casey and then fill the phoenix park with caravans and scrap? :)

    Well let them rent or buy their own land line what everyone else has to do.

    Can they not rent land and pay for it themselves like any other farmer in the country. We are dairy farmers and we spend about 8000 a year renting land. Working 13 hour days. 7 days a week and barely making a living. It's all we know. We were reared to put In a good days work and you feel better for it.
    Maybe this debate should encourage travellers to make sure their children finish secondary school and get a job. Their life expectancy would improve with better education and better mental health.

    No way they are such an honest and misunderstood peoples, violence you say when they don't get what they want?

    I thought they were supposed to be a people now living in fear because of Casey.

    So basically like Peter Casey you want them treated the same as the rest of society, yet because he has said this various numpties have accused him of racism. Mad stuff Ted.

    If they were 'sure' to come back and kill him then Nally would have had to have higher stats than that to fire the gun.

    I understand that he saw red and killed. I accept that and can see his reasons.

    But don't be gilding the lily by claiming that the incidence of this is either a plague, exclusive to the travelling community so prevalent as to be the norm, it isn't.

    I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't run. I'll probably show up and vote for him anyway. Some indictment of the situation if the ONLY man who is prepared to be honest about the Traveller issue is the one who is forced to back down.

    Exactly, there are numerous farmer neighbours of ours that have bad experiences with some travellers. It last week our next door neighbour have travellers walking on his land. He politely asked them to leave and they got very aggressive and threatening to damage his property. That night all his tractor tyres were slashed as well as other damage.
    Our other neighbour was cutting branches from a tree near the road over the summer. 2 travellers offered to help. He said there was no need but they insisted. They cut down 2 branches and then demanded 300 euro. The owner said not a hope and then the travellers got very aggressive and pulled out iron bars. He got such a fright he gave them the money.
    Neither case has had any charges brought against them. Every farmer I know has stuff stolen. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth and I can guarantee casey will get a fair few votes.

    Paddy Power odds watch.

    66/1 now

    12/1 excluding MDH looks like a good bet.
