Not sure if you’re serious.

Have a listen to this and educate yourself on one of the oldest running jokes.

Suddenly all planning objections are dropped and the developer enacts the buyback clause in the sale contract. Sneaky fucker! :P

How did they get it for so cheap in the first place?

Deebles McBeebles

No planning permission, damaging a conservation area and illegally accessing utilities etc etc, yet they are still there? A new set of laws specifically pertaining to our wandering friends might be in order because if it was anyone else they would be out on their arse already.

Now now we have to be mindful of their 'unique culture' and bend over backwards to facilitate it at all costs

Exactly! Lets make them a bespoke set of laws while we're at it. Apparently our current laws hold no water for them.

KrustyUCC

I'm sure they would find ways to break those too after a while lol

I was in a circle K today when a car pulls up , 3 traveller teens pop in and start taking chocolate , ice cream and other snacks then just stroll back out and into the car and off they go .. I was next at the till and we were just looking at this go on , the lad behind the counter tells me that this happens about twice a week and he’s just instructed to take down the reg. He said the cops must do nothing cause it’s been going on for months now !! Vermin

Wonder if traveller theft insurance is now a thing for traders?

Charles Ingles

How is this vile allowed to continue, nothing but open racist hatred of travellers,
I know some kind caring traveling families imagine the hurt they feel reading these comments.
Travelers contribute greatly to Irish society through sport music and business.
The are committed to their families and their faith

The company should put the CCTV up on social media and see what response it gets.

Not being contrarian but needed work done to my house, brick repointing, chimney capping, guttering, etc, bloke came round to do the job, his origins only sank in after mulling over his accent, surname and connection to a large Midlands town, anyway, him and his colleagues were perfect gentlemen, didn't overcharge and did a sterling job. They can't all be the spawn of Satan.

Your experience is the same interactions people have everyday with 99% of Travelers.
For some reason people use the bad apple's or the 1% of Travelers to discredit all Travelers

Right. So why are they so over-represented in prisons then? Is it that they are no good at committing crime and keep getting caught?

But you can't lock someone up if they haven't committed a crime. So how does such a high percentage of travellers get caught committing crimes?

After all it was you who claimed 99% are decent and its the 1% who drag them down.

Look all over the world, indigenous and marginalized people are over represented in prisons.

Looking at the Anglo bank trials, white collar workers are under represented in prisons.

If you don't commit a crime you don't get locked up. These people are criminals. Anyone who has been caught enough times to warrant a prison sentence is a criminal.

Which is necessary to stop the marauding traveller gangs terrorising the countryside.

You might be interested in following broadcaster pat o mahony on twitter, he regularly accuses the guards of racial profiling and how this explains the high incarceration rate amongst the traveller community

So should the guards not bother chasing down these criminals because it would upset Mr O Mahony

Well I'd be inclined to believe that.
How else when we see it replicated with indigenous people all over the world

Google 'Traveller Gang jailed'.
There is good reason for the high inprisonment rate.

I can only assume o mahony is opposed to the investigation of traveller crime

Vincent browne certainly was

Of course they are, if they commit crimes and are criminals, they go to prison.

Travellers are not indigenous to Ireland. Irish people are the indigenous population and have been living on this island for approx 8,000 years before Travellers showed up 400 years ago. Travellers are in prison because they live a life of social welfare dependance which they supplement with crime. They are not a downtrodden, oppressed minority. They are a section of society who do not want to live by laws and taxes. They want to do whatever they please and they get away with more sh!t than any other section. They are also the most racist people in Ireland, which makes their cries of racism pretty pathetic.

Choosing to live outside the rules of society is not the same as being marginalised. They want all the benefits of society without the responsibilities. Cry me a river.
