    She probably uses the solicitor that her mother used to sign over €100k, and probably much more besides. Same solicitor is, no doubt, on the free legal aid list of solicitors for her personal use in the event she'll add to her list of court summons.

    The State find it extremely difficult to fill legal aid panels because nobody wants to do it. It's not the gravy train boards seems to think it is.

    A lot of travellers actually pay their own way with legal costs, they want the best service.

    Up front in cash and on time.

    Pavee Point today posted that Irish Prison Service are looking for Traveller Prison Officers, need a pass in 5 leaving certs. Good luck with that :pac:

    I can't find that article on Pavee Point and I can't see where it states that the Irish Prison Service are looking for traveller prison officers. It certainly isn't in the job description booklet for the advertised roles. They just say prison officers. No mention of travellers.

    The UN and other international organisations have been damning on the way the country has treated them. How can you be blind.

    Here's an idea for you Eldon, let the UN and other International Organisations put their money where their mouth's are, and run all the halting sites, education etc. and everything else that they see as "DAMMING" in our "Failure" with Travellers.

    Yeah I just checked the IPS site, the Public Jobs site and read the entire information booklet on applying for the job and it does not mention travellers.

    I think we have enough to go on without making things up.

    It's often handled by larger companies, who badly pay the solicitors who handle the actual case work. The directors make nice money out of it due to volume.

    Shur, even poor TDs are entitled to free legal aid. Who said that they are being paid too much?

    Sounds like revenue should be involved in this process too then.

    That's PP throwing in the traveller bit, its just a normal public jobs competition. I thought from what you posted the IPS were specifically looking for travellers.

    Exactly. It is Pavee Point saying they want more traveller prison officers not the Irish Prison Service.

    The IPS did release a statement last year saying they were looking for more women and ethnic minorities. I actually opened a thread about it here.

    Can't see many travellers interested in those jobs.

    PP are setting this up do that they can have whinge when no travellers get a position. Completely ignoring that very few are eligible (due to their criminal rabbis) or that very few will apply.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,042 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Would be a cushy job too for them.

    After all, they'd get to see a lot of their mates every day. Be able to catch up.

    Would love to see the stats of those who applied once its done. It would be handy when PP inevitably do as you said.

    If only one applied they would cry 'racism' is he/she isn't given the job

    It's a public competition like the Guards. Open to all.

    There are however certain areas where travellers could run into problems.

    You need a Leaving Certificate - rules out 93% of travellers.

    Irish language Requirement - see above.

    Criminal Record of any kind will disqualify a candidate. I know in the guards that even having any sort of family connection to crime can disqualify a person.

    Same with the headstone business. No haggling. Cash up front.

    Actually, they don't even need to pay upfront. A stonemason knows he will definitely be paid. All he'd have to do is put out a whisper that a headstone wasn't paid for and the offender would be embarrassed into paying it.

    One more for the road

    They're taking the mick

    Brazen dumpers discard caravan full of rubbish on the site of massive clean-up

    DEFIANT dumpers have left a caravan filled with rubbish at an illegal tip which is currently being cleaned up at a cost of €53,000 to the taxpayer.

    Contractors Loftus of Cork has cleared almost 200,000 kilos of rubbish and 4,500 kilos of asbestos from Ellis’s Yard in Ballyvolane — which has been a target for dumping for decades — in the last fortnight and plan to leave the site this week before City Hall takes over to secure the yard with fencing and other security measures.

    However, under the cover of darkness, dumpers rolled an old caravan filled with waste down a hill on the southern side of the large site.

    No chance. Homophobia and misogyny are rife in traveller culture. Joey doesn't really advocate that.

    I'll give Bernard credit just this once here, he was openly pro Gay marriage and openly pro 'repeal'.

    He's a bit of a contradiction. He defends travellers vociferously but is concerned about the environment and also pro animal life.

    I'd say if he wasn't a traveller he would call himself settled or 'British'.

    Kim likes to deal with difficult people by throwing them and three generations of their family into a gulag for re-education. And it's not the type of education system you can just leave when you want lol

    I agree, but at the same time when there are stories about travellers dumping rubbish, instead of criticising them for doing so he calls their detractors 'British', yet he is supposed to be an environmentalist.

    He complains about taxpayer waste of money yet supports Maggie Cash and claims the dole himself.

    He's a total and utter Bell End.

    Officially they have to comply with all the rules but between us in practice they are just left alone. SW officials want a quiet life.

    Travellers Guide was decent after. The guy was a credit to travellers and by that I mean he seemed normal and didn't try to fight everything he saw. Thought it was interesting that he still lived on a halting site even though he works as a councillor or something along those lines.
