Paul Reid has already come out and strongly condemned it, he was one of the first

Never mind condemning.
What's gonna be done about it?
Should never have been allowed to leave Dublin port/Dún Laoghaire

Treat travellers as they treat you, learned that a few years back after a nightclub, woke up the following morning quite pleased with my actions even though i had been arrested for a short time.

Because in my own experience, the travelling community by and large, dont care about any laws/regulations. Why would covid restrictions be any different.

But of course, we are not allowed to say that.

You were doing so well until "But of course, we are not allowed to say that"

Remember what happened to Peter Casey when he was critical of the travellers.

No politician is going to criticize the travelling community publicly.

Ya his ratings soared and he nearly became president.

Same attitude in the social welfare offices. Just give it to them and get them out.

At least we can’t accuse the Irish media of ignoring events like this... Pat ‘tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime’ Kenny gave it 43 seconds of his three hour show yesterday - bravely reading a factual Garda report regarding the alleged event.

Perhaps we would hear more from Pat about this valuable section of our society if SDCC were to apply for planning to house them on Gorse Hill.

This is the thing, Travellers are largely a rural and Western thing, with some in Northside of towns and cities.

If they were camping in the leafy Suburbs the views would be different in Progressives and modern left circles.

Not all Travellers of course but the violence, robbery, littering, anti social behaviour that comes with them, from a very large minority makes people fear them and you'd be s fool not to fear them, repeated experience teaches a hard lesson.

And that is why they get away with the sh1t they pull. Nobody brave enough to tackle them.

The nettle will have to be grabbed at some stage.

The problem with nettles: the longer you leave them the bigger they grow and the harder they become to pull.

Part of their culture boss.

They were sent to training stations to do shopping and chemist runs for elderly people, they weren't working as attested Gardai doing investigations.

That's how Gardai used to be trained back 8/9 years ago anyway.

The guy i mention passed out as a Gardai after 6/8 weeks.
How can an organization like this be taken as a serious police force...
Apprentice Garda after passing out...

You may not have heard but there was a significant global crisis in the last 12 months.

So that means we stop and do not have not have proper trained people?
Maybe you think that all Leaving cert students should be allowed go to College without proper exam?

Travellers are a law to themselves, I blame the Gardai and Government

Having worked in a retail store for over 10 years, I have found 99% of Travellers trouble.

Stealing
Making Personal injury claims
And lately refusing to wear masks


The Garda are afraid of them and the judges are way too lenient when it comes to sentencing

Yes the Gardai are afraid of them.....that's how a significant proportion of them have convictions running into the hundreds. I wonder who is bringing them before the courts on all these occasions....

I thought this kind of thing was allowed.
I was under the impression travellers had minority status and they were allowed to do things according to their culture.

The state claims the law knows no favour. Apparently that's bollix.

You can still find rte's coverage if you go to the rte.ie and search for funeral, then rank them by date, you'd almost think they dont want people to know about it. Blank article, no mention of travellers just a link to the radio clip.

He still gave right-on folks a bit of a fright after their initial disdain.
He only reflected the opinions of a large portion of the population and posters on this thread only he wasn't afraid to voice them.

I wonder if Brendan o’Conner will mention it. Just tuned in now

To be fair to Mr Casey. He started off on the lowest in the opinion polls.
He then made his comments and rose to where he did.
Also look at the percentage of the vote he got . In areas that would often be associated with travellers.
Also I know he didn’t get elected in the European Elections ether but can you remember how smug Tubridy was doing the exit poll and it showed people like Saoirse McHugh did better than him but in reality she didn’t.

Not a chance.

However if it was Sinn Fein funeral he'd be all over it like a rash.

He went from being at under 1% in the polls, to gaining over 20% of total votes, simply by coming out with an anti traveller remark.

The Taoiseach at the time asked voters to send Casey a clear message about what they thought of the remarks and the people duly obliged. Anyone I know who voted for him didn't do so because he would make a great President, it was simply sending a message about their thoughts.

He managed to do even better in places with large traveller populations. Why do you think that is? The greatest defenders of their behaviour generally comes from areas where they have little to no interaction with them in their day to day lives.

Here's an article from an area of high traveller population showing Casey topping the pole. Behind a pay wall but you will get the jist of it.

The media did a number on caseys increasing popularity leading into the final week, they released 2 week old poll results on that last week which showed Casey at 1%, well after his traveller comments which was very sinister, making Casey look like he wasn't gaining traction. People who think travellers are low lives are "full retards".? It's mostly from experience.
