    “One dimension which is under-acknowledged outside the Traveller community is the absolutely central significance of the horse for Traveller life and society. That has to be acknowledged in terms of housing policy,” he said

    Every cent currently going towards paying for Prof Flaherty's directorship of the 'Fundamental Rights Agency' should be spent on law enforcement.

    Indeed.

    The research also found that 46% of people said they would feel “uncomfortable with Roma and Travellers as neighbours”.

    The survey of Rights and Living Conditions of Travellers in Ireland found that Travellers in Ireland reported having the lowest rates of employment across Europe, at just 15%.

    It also found that one in ten Travellers, including children, report “going to bed hungry” at least once in the last month, rising to a fifth in some countries surveyed.

    More than 90% said there is “insufficient and inadequate” accommodation available, including halting sites.

    Ireland has the second highest rate of Traveller children participating in early childhood education, at 75%, however, it continues to lag behind that of the general population.

    There is a 70% rate of early school leaving among Irish Travellers, compared with 5% for the general population.


    Loads of stats there. Funny how they completely ignore the equally skewed stats for Traveller and Roma criminality and antisocial behaviour. As usual it's always somebody else's fault and they're always agentless victims. And who is pulling the kids out of the schools? The teachers? No, the parents. Education is quite simply not seen as a priority within the culture. If it were those stats wouldn't be the way they are. And then there is confusion why the unemployment figures are so high?


    Would you ever feck off with your logic and reason.

    Another generic traveller bashing thread. No thanks.

    Some of these posts could be copy pasted from the last one.
