"Inflamatory combination" preventing them from housing certain families near each other, well fook right off. A peace wall going to be built between them, is this real or a fooking spoof?

I presume it was the Amish.

Could they instead of building a wall build a boxing ring between them and they could have PPV fights of a friday night to earn a few bob?

48 grand for the wall... Someone's making an absolute killing on that, probably 5grand worth of materials.

It's this one-sided type of crap on national TV that makes settled people even angrier and more determined to keep Travellers as far out of reach as possible.
Start asking them the hard questions, start making them responsible for their actions.

It would be priceless if some poor foreign tourist pulled in with his caravan thinking it was a caravan park...

You can be sure tomorrow there will be zero discussion at all about this on any RTE media, hopefully Niall Boylan brings up the topic.

They have only found decent hardworking travellers that don't want to cause anyone any hassle...

Azatadine

See how many of them rocked on into your man's property? FFS! Sick of this RTE 'poor traveller loving' style programs too.

Quiet the opposite. Pat Kenny, Sean O'Rourke etc will all cover this from the aspect of the lack of Traveller accomm being a national scandal.
There'll be some semi-educated (degrees in some form of social studies courses with post-doc's from Trinners) vastly overpaid Sth Dubs on from NGO's calling for new laws, citing UN declarations etc etc

This is slightly off topic its just from an article i read

It said there is over 10k people homeless
And over 70k on HAP
.
Both growing by the week

And then there is the private renters who get no help at all . Prob around 50k of them
.
Will these people on HAP still be on it when they are retired ?

Its going to be one big sh!tshow in around 20 years. We think the crisis is bad now

And Ms Cash is responsible for this ****show how?

hurler32

At present birth levels how can we keep paying travellers all this welfare .. a family of ten gets 70-80,000 in benefits on our uncapped benefits system ... and those working can’t afford to have children ??

It is often settled people going onto Ward sites in Glenveigh and destroying them.

The council wouldn't give us this and the council wouldn't give us that. We had to keep moving on. The hint is in the name.....traveller.

RTÉ have lost the plot. Where’s the balanced, reasoned and fact based discussion.

Boo fückin hoo. All I'm seeing here is, at the worst, travellers being treated the same as everyone else.

Family compatibility?? Are they actually serious?

So RTÉ are asking question on why more halting sites have not been built then 5 minutes later show that travellers burn out many halting sites.
Yet don't connect the two things.

#RTEInvestigates how to blame everyone else for Travellers' problems, except the Travellers themselves.

Atlantic Dawn

Are those 6 stunning houses in Tipperary built for travellers still lying empty because they don't have stables attached?

Threatening the council with risk of violence and damage. Get fcuked.

Absolutely crazy.

Development of Glenview halting site is in jeopardy because two families can't be civilised to each other.

Do you lose your ethnic status if you don’t have a baby?

This programme is a load of BS RTÉ need to catch themselves on... We don't like that traveller family we don't want to live beside them we want our own site... P#ss away off then!

Parts of this programme in RTE beggar belief. It's like a parallel moral universe. The blame is actually being laid at the door of a local authority for inisisting on providing much needed housing to feuding traveler families near each other.

I was brought up in a council house. Trying to imagine my parents going to the council and saying, we can't take this house because everybody in the cul de sac won't be able to stop themselves from burning each other out or killing each other.

Can they just not do that??

They're leaving that to the hamster in your own wheel to figure out. If they blatantly did i, they'd be accused of bias the other way.
