    Like all sections of society, there’s good and there’s bad.

    Wrong. There has always been a systemic racism problem in America which has seen that quite overwhelmingly police target black people more often than white. That’s just fact.

    however in general in Ireland the Gardai have a very soft approach to travellers. Be it because they’re afraid of them, they cba or what but the two things don’t in anyway relate to one another.

    As a distinct ethnic group in Ireland, with a rich history of nomadism and cultural practices that are separate from the settled population, Travellers have a particular need when it comes to being housed in culturally appropriate accommodation.

    Another article from the Journal on the travelling community. Apparently everything that is wrong in the community is the fault of the state and settled people. Also accusations of racism in trying to get them to assimilate into mainstream society. Travellers accuse settled people of being dirty, but in this article the travellers' site is filthy and has a rat infestation that causes sickness. It's very sad.

    It's a Gaffer of an Acca

    ah the journal.ie is nothing more than a lobbyist group for pavee point at this stage.

    You just know its Pavee point forking out to fund these so called newsworthy articles when the rest of them fail miserably to generate any funding whatsoever.


    I've a neighbour right across from me who's been stealing dogs for the past year, and is currently still awaiting trial for stealing dogs which has been delayed due to covid. He's banned from keep dogs but he's still churning through 2-3 dogs a week if not more. Yet somehow the journal and Pavee point will still turn this into a non-traveler issue.
