    I’d wait until I had the keys in my hand. She’s been here before.

    Anyone know what happened to the last house they lived in before becoming homeless?

    She refused to pay the HAP component of the rent and she was evicted for arrears. Under HAP the tenant has to contribute to the rent but it sounds like this house might be a council house so its hers for as long as she wants it.

    A simple way of keeping CAB off your back is to prove to them how you paid for your property.

    Amazing how far not playing by the rules and never doing anything of worth can get you.

    Because they blame everyone but themselves - racism in school, poor housing, no facilities, unemployment, mental health issues etc etc

    Alot of the above issues could be dealt with by themselves if they'd only educate themselves and get a job. But if you call them out, you're a racist. I'm delighted CAB is finally cutting them off at the legs and hitting them in the pocket. They are riddled with crime.

    On Drive time yesterday Fergal Keane was interviewing a pavee rep. When asked about feuding the rep blamed social media. He said because of SM people could now insult people without leaving their homes. Pity Keane didn't ask him why they're Insulting each other in the first place.

    What a disgraceful excuse for a human being.

    I'm sorry but I've no time for fcking losers and leeches. The world owes us all nothing, you make your own way in life if you're able bodied and sound of mind.

    Some reward for leaving school at 12, married at 15, first kid at 17, 7 kids by 28, never worked a day in her life, almost 40 convictions including for theft from Penneys and now gets a 4 bedroom house that the vats majority of taxpayers could only ever dream of

    On Her page, Margaret is complaining about Crumlin Hospital losing it's catholic name 'Our Lady of Lourdes' https://www.facebook.com/margartandjohnnymccarthy/posts/628441940960099

    She says the Hospital should be Catholic.

    In The comments she 'Likes' a comment saying Muslim doctors should be allowed to wear Muslim attire in hospitals.

    How very inclusive of her.

    They just couldn't resist the bit of copper in the wiring and plumbing. They couldn't sleep thinking about the precious precious copper. Only thing to do was to wreck the house and cash it in, they can sleep now thank god.

    And then you have someone like Peter Casey challenging where taxpayers money is spent supporting this lifestyle choice and the media and RTE do a hatchet job on him at every chance despite the fact he came from zero in the polls to 2nd.

    This p!sses me off so much. They fought so hard to get their ethnic status recognised :rolleyes: that it should be used all the time. Your man in the video was even afraid to say that it was Travellers. It's absolutely sickening. They're quick to pull the Traveller card to cry discrimination but if you apply that Traveller card to their sh!tty behaviour, that's also discrimination :mad:

    Surprise surprise. Some of them, certainly not all, sicken me. I can't see how we've been putting up with this nonsense from them for years. The weakness in the state (and tiptoeing around their issues) ensures 0 accountability will take place just yet.

    Maybe we should be giving much more notice / media to travellers thanks to their new found status (as someone mentioned). That would be great cultural enrichment.

    The people should be made aware of this.
    The media are hiding it deliberately imo.
    It should be blasted across all forms of social media.

    I'd like to say I'm shocked that there are certain individuals in here still defending travellers but sadly, I'm not.

    I do however encourage these defenders to wander through a halting site with all of their most valuable possessions on display though.

    Travellers are not a race. It’s merely a way of life like veganism or growing your own food in the garden, except the Traveller way of life is bankrupt and should be wiped out. Traveller children should be taken from their parents unless the parents are willing to have them educated and house them in brick and mortar homes. Anyone else who subjected their children to such squalor on a voluntary basis would have their kids taken from them, but Travellers play this bullsh1t race card which should be pulled from under them. They are not a race! They’re just like the rest of us, except they want us to support a morally bankrupt and unhealthy nomadic lifestyle.

    Can you imagine living next door to that shít, trying to raise a family, encouraging your kids to be decent citizens, to try achieve on merit and a good work ethic.

    Meanwhile the local ethnic group give 2 fingers to the rest of the area, the law, the environment, the state, persist in their entitlement and demands for culturally appropriate accomdation, playing the perpetual victim, enabled by gobshïtes who have little dealings with them.

    Fcuk it, we need an Elliot Ness inspired clamp down on this scourge.

    My brother used to do plumbing in Galway (20+ years ago) and the company he worked must have always managed to be the lowest bidder because his team always got the: "go to this or that halting site and fix up the buildings". They used to be vacant most of the time but now and again they would turn up and there would be horses in them.

    The sites were always destroyed, tiles gone from the roof, all windows and doors gone, all wood gone to burn cables, all copper pipes and electrical wires dug out of the walls. Basically anything that could be removed and sold were gone and usually the buildings got demolished and built again before being let to travellers again. In one case they were sent back to the same site 4 months after fixing it up to find it trashed and everything of value gone again. What did they do?, well fix it back up again.

    Travellers are not a race.

    correct they are an ethnic minority.
    It’s merely a way of life like veganism or growing your own food in the garden, except the Traveller way of life is bankrupt and should be wiped out.

    it is not possible to wipe it out. the only way it will become extinct is by itself as travelers slowly but surely move away from the nomadic lifestyle which is slowly happening by itself.
    Traveller children should be taken from their parents unless the parents are willing to have them educated and house them in brick and mortar homes.

    there are already remedies available to the authorities to deal with children who are not being educated to the standards required and i am satisfied that they are used where possible.
    removing children because they don't live in a home of bricks and morter is laughable nonsense and i suspect will not be happening. if that was going to happen then the western world would be having large scale child removal programs as there are homes made from different construction materials either being built or have been built across the western world
    Anyone else who subjected their children to such squalor on a voluntary basis would have their kids taken from them, but Travellers play this bullsh1t race card which should be pulled from under them. They are not a race! They’re just like the rest of us, except they want us to support a morally bankrupt and unhealthy nomadic lifestyle.

    i would suspect that isn/t guaranteed, as remember the system is under-funded and likely under-resourced.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    Anyone, anyone really who has the bottle to call this stuff out for what it is would top the poll.

    There is no nice way of saying it, but people are fed up to the back teeth of this tip toeing around a very nasty issue in our society.

    Travellers are not above the law, but they actually can be most of the time due to constant recidivism. Eyes roll, not you again Connors, six months suspended, Next!

    At least Operation Thor is proving to be successful, long may it continue. Organised Crime is being tackled regardless of whether they are Travellers or not. They have one thing in common, they are criminals with no regard for the law of the land.

    There..... I feel better after that :P
