Travellers Naas and Curragh

Darc19

Next time you think of voting Sinn Fein or PBP, it is their amendment to Covid-19 legislation that is preventing Travellers from being removed off the Curragh or their new locations around the Naas bypass.


From dail records

Solidarity-People Before Profit want a line included "for the avoidance of any doubt" that all Travellers who are currently resident in any location should not be evicted during the crisis. Exceptions to this would be "where movement is required to ameliorate hardship and provide protection" but it would be "subject to consultation with the Travellers involved".This amendment is supported by Sinn Fein.

Still littering three locations on the Curragh and they very much made it clear that they cannot be moved.

Even that effer from pavee point is requesting that a water supply be provided.

You couldn't make it up.

Remember it was a SF / PBP amendment that has given this scourge these "rights"

The reply to that tweet says they have moved 200 metres up the road.

Unless they’re going back on the ferry they came in on, it’s not exactly a win.

They were moved on in nass as they gained illegal entry.
Curragh is fair game for them under the legislation.

i wonder if they have car insurance, motor tax and appropriate driving licences for towing caravans?

I would still like someone to explain to me just how - LEGALLY - they got to the Curragh in the first place? After all, taccroding to reports they arrived over Easter Weekend, the LD was already active then.

This is the appropiate word. They are not protected if they arrived after the lockdown.

Don't people from outside of Ireland have the right to move freely under current leglislation?

Yeah looks to be a loophole in the current legislation.

Regardless, rules don't seem to apply to travellers and they're free to do what they like it seems.

Anyone with half a brain cell wouldn't go travelling during current circumstances

That swiftly excuses them so.
