Fair play to that man, he's not sensationalising at all. Seems quite reasonable.

Well said Councillor.

Ain't often I get a chance to say that.

I know that guy, he is bang on. The travellers are taking over and try to push none traveller people out. Some of the carry on is unbelievable...5 miles from my house...I see it first hand. They want equal rights but do not want to act properly..

Yup, notorious area.

That guy's point about the ITM "them-against-us" point was bang on.

Paddy Kavanagh asked in a reasonable way why the Revenue aren't interested in going after these guys(Travellers) trading away and moving God knows what at all hours of the day or night...Joe will not give him much in the way of air time I bet..

Only hope that the next time professional apologist, Martin Collins, is given the freedom of the airwaves to berate us all for our "racist-ism" towards his oppressed kin, that Paddy Kavanagh is allowed to debate the subject alongside him.

That I'd pay to hear.

Martin Collins has never defended or acted as an apologist for any manner of anti-social activity. Quite how highlighting the problems that the Traveller community face, a community that by any measure isn't all culpable for the sort of stuff Paddy Kavanagh is rightly highlighting, means that they're supposed to act as a mouthpiece for the percentage of idiots who do engage in anti-social activity, escapes me. Pavee Point have a fair enough stance on anti-social and criminal activity - it's a matter for the guards. You presumably don't expect Paddy Kavanagh to be accountable for, or act as liason with every criminal scumbag in Enniscorthy, so what makes Martin Collins different?

Saw a headline down in the shops saying that Gerry Adams is the second biggest spend on (ink :pac:) cartridges .... so no doubt Joe will be all over that tomorrow..

Here's a similar story about the same topic:

about the traveller story again, how can the council re locate them to a private estate ??

do they pay the rent ?

so this could happen to anyone ? - not just people living in a council estate ?

Totally agree with you Alastair, in the same way as I, as an Irish non traveller person, amn't responsible for the criminal scumbags in Limerick terrorising their neighbors, decent travellers aren't responsible for the low life ones, a register of these anti social families should be kept (non traveller's and traveller's or whatever) and councils should refuse them local authority housing, that would help the situation hugely, as regards them renting from private landlords its more problematic, but having said that, to rent my apartment I had to provide previous landlord, bank and work references otherwise I wouldn't have got it , this should be the minimum required for all rentals.

Unlikely that the council owns many private houses in older estates or that older estates have many rented accommodation.

Plenty of settled scum about. But that is really not PC.

so joe talked about those loving caring wouldnt hurt anyone culturaly oppresed peopel today? is it worth breaking my 2 weeks of not listening to live line to hear it on podcast?

Is there some actual meat to this printing story or is it just the usual waste of our money? Why has no one produced one of these printed docs?

Where do I hand in my empty transparent, cellulose-based, pressure sensitive adhesive tape cardboard roll?

Not really. It sounds like he might have been printing anti-bin tax leaflets etc, as well as his constituency stuff. Strictly against the rules, but he wasn't getting anything out of it for himself, so it's not much of a story really.

Joe loved it though, anything to bash the shinners with.

it's amazing the old Devalera clan love having arguments over treaties. And they alter their name aswell. Shouldn't Dev Og surname be Spelt without a V at the end ? If it's not Devalero it O cuiv.

Wonder will the little bill signed into law by sherlock be mentioned today or will it be specific dublin-centric issues as per usual.
