So what??

It’s the custom in my neighbours house to open presents on Christmas Eve but our house does it on Christmas Day - are you trying to see that my neighbour is ethnically different to me because of that??

we very much have the balls to deport them. once the full procedures are exausted. direct provision may have it's faults but people going through the process need to be accommodated somewhere while they go through the process, somewhere the authorities can insure their whereabouts. + the majority of asylum seekers aren't fraudsters, they haven't been charged with, and in a court of law, found guilty of fraud.



or perhapse she is busy, out somewhere, asleep, whichever?



i'd say there is no chance. he couldn't even get elected to the presidentsy. i have a feeling this chap if he does go for politics, will be the irish version of flipflop farage. running for election but keeps being rejected.

I say there will be every chance he will be voted in especially in the counties he topped the presidential vote in. He has done very well so far.

He didn't top the poll in a single county
He did diddly squat so far

You were wrong O, just correct the record. He introduced travellers to the debate himself. He was NOT asked specifically about them.

Its easy enough to burn homes of the deceased when the taxpayer is providing these homes.
The council built lovely bungalows in Nutgrove for travellers and one by one these houses were boarded up. I wonder were some set on fire.

Is one module of the proposed traveller culture taught in school to be in relation to deliberate arson.

Not the point. On a constituency by constituency basis Michael D topped the poll in every single case. Casey did do well in certain local areas where there may be particular issues with travellers but overall he lagged far behind Michael D.

Fair enough, I'll hold my hands up. I listened back and I was wrong. He introduced the topic. I feel it was a natural progression to the discussion though given the current affairs at the time.

Can you please share it? I can't honestly find it online. I see references to itinerant and nomadic but surely that doesn't apply to people in the likes of Labre Park? That would include any transient people, drifters, homeless, rough sleepers more so would it not?

He used the example of the Thurles travellers not taking up the free houses (1.7m cost to taxpayer) and said it was pure madness - and he is 100% correct on this

He topped the polls in certain areas in County limerick. He was second in nearly every constituency, I wouldn’t call that diddly squat.

No. Irish is the official language of the state. Speaking it doesn't make you unique.

As for separate language it’s a blend of Irish and English - a mashup

They are Catholic but they have their own customs unique to that.


And shelta may be a mix up of languages but it's still unique.

To be honest I can't take you too seriously because an hour ago you said 'he was asked a question about the community in question'.
He wasn't. That was a blatant untruth.

And it's not like it was just a natural progression. He went on to talk about travellers ethnic status and travellers not paying taxes etc
It's clear to me that Casey wanted to introduce the topic of travellers into the presidential debate and he found a way of doing that.
Don't get me wrong - it's a legitimate topic, but let's not pretend that he was just answering a question.

In cork on the north side of the city, they were given brand new homes, absolutely thrashed them, ripped the solar panels off the roofs.

It may or may not be legitimate. The poster said he 'was asked' specifically about the Tipp situation and SEMS. He wasn't, he introduced those subjects himself.

He didnt target travellers in some premediated bigoted racist rant.

He was discussing homelessness and people repeatedly refusing housing for ridiculous reasons, and used the Tipp Travellers as a very topical example

I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. Can I claim ethnicity based on that? I had shared religious customs with others that are unique to the wider community. It's just the definition is a bit wishy washy is all. Not having a go at you btw, you're providing answers.

I know what I said. I also said a page ago that I was misinformed and outright admitted I was wrong. It happens. I didn't fully inform myself on the interview and took the information second hand. Fancy that, someone admitting they got it wrong online. The vast majority of my posts have validity. I won't lose sleep if you won't take me seriously.

Isnt the bit bolded in your post the whole point of the thread, everyone except the travellers are just living their lives beside their neighbours and getting on with it. They arent moaning about discrimination and looking for ethnic status, they are too busy working and paying bills and doing their best to get their children educated, they havent the time to be navel gazing about their ethnicity and nor do they have paid organisations like Pavee Point to indulge their whining.

No not really.

It's the point of the thread that angry people picking a single group of individuals as the core basis for all the countries problems are in the minority and no shouldn't be acknowledged as speaking for us all.

The shouty loudest bunch are always the ones shouty and loud. Hence the stuff on tubs twitter.

No different to shouty loud ignorant people giving it socks at a customer service desk in the shopping centre abusing the staff member while the majority of other shoppers look on in shock


The vote tally of the election demonstrated that shouty loud people are in the minority.

Shouty loud angry usually single minded .

Everyone else..... Exhausted listening to them

Ah heor, hyperbole much?
I cant recall anyone saying they're the core basis of our society's ills or problems.

Rural crime is a problem
Criminality is a problem
Homelessness is a problem
Social welfare is a problem
Waste disposal is a problem
Insurance fraud is a problem
Domestic violence is a problem
Disability rates are a problem
Recidivism is a problem
Fraud is a problem

Travellers feature in a lot of specific examples of all of the aboce. Disproportinatey it seems. Travellers and non travellers alike, but to dicuss such prevalence isnt racist or bigoted.
Its factual.
Not angry.
Rational.

High probability of having no job and claiming social welfare, yet having unexplained sources of wealth when it comes to new vehicles, lavish wedding and First Communion celebrations, etc? Check

History of violence / feuding / bare-knuckle fights with other Traveller families? Check

Noted disregard for property, the environment, and animal welfare? Check

Like it or not, the above are what make Travellers into Travellers in the eyes of the public. It has little or nothing to do with their ethnicity.

This is the diversity that the rest of the country see in the traveller community. Wow, this sure needs to be protected and cherished:rolleyes:

Irish Travellers have been documented as being part of Irish society for centuries. Travellers have a long shared history, traditions, language, culture and customs.
The distinctive Traveller identity and culture, based on a nomadic tradition, sets Travellers apart from the sedentary population or ‘settled people’.
Accepting, resourcing and celebrating Traveller identity, culture and heritage is a central element in any strategy to counter discrimination and the exclusion and marginalisation of Travellers.

That still doesn't explain them.

You can look at any community through 'prejudiced' glasses.

The British, for instance could have created a similar list (many still would) about settled Irish people at one time.

I think some of you people may want to stand back and maybe you will see what you are doing.

Casey knew IMO that many wouldn't stand back and would jump to their keyboards and to his name on the ballot paper.

Was on the train this weekend and a Traveller family were freeloading. Where the inspector told them they'd have to buy a ticket or get off at the next stop, the guy started hurling abuse and smacking the walls until the inspector said he could go to the stop after that.

Folks on the train were like 'Peter Casey all the way'
