Claire Byrne Live (RTE1)

Are they actually going to mention the crimes they commit? Or is this just going to glorify them for an hour?

Theres a huge elephant in the room here.

Is this going to be a traveller appreciation show?

Or will they take any criticism.

Some facts being read out

Finally

Never have I reached for a remote control so quickly, I almost broke my arm when I discovered what this show is covering tonight , Jesus wept and I'll say no more 😳🙄

No one seems to question where they get all their money considering most don't work.

This is crazy stuff.

Treated as second class citizens because they’re a shower of robbers.

The K word

"I'm not going to use it as its not my right"

Unbelievable

Do traveller's use the K word in their rap music?

Biased, one sided views of travellers. They get far too much for nothing, don’t work or train themselves & happily live off the state having children they know the state will provide for. Disgraceful

Have they ever actually stopped and reflected on why they’re treated this way? Looked at themselves and said oh this is what we’re doing wrong.

I recall a certain high profile man of alleged crime who drove his large taxi one evening to drop off a fare to a halting site on Dublin's northside and one of the windows was smashed in the process, the story goes that the next day the money to fix the window was dropped to his house, he had a certain respect you could say.

You would feel sorry for the decent travellers who just want to live their lives. Not much they can do to change their background or the actions of their community. The greatest lottery you can win in life is who your parents are

Massive levels of suicide in the traveller community, I don't think they have the handy life that people like to portray

Travellers should be rightly be proud of their TRADITIONAL culture and positive role models in their community like Eileen Flynn.

But they also need to deal with modern criminal culture and negative role models that have swamped and overpowered that traditional culture.

So far not one has even mentioned the rampant criminality problem in their community. My bet is the panel members tonight won't call out and condem those elements because they are terrified of the criminal godfathers who have seized real power in their community.

We don't get no hand outs says this lad while County Councils spend hundreds of thousands of euro a year on them
