How many more shows do we need on cooking and home improvement yet they're on all the time? Maybe you might learn something to confront your prejudices, anyway watching is optional.

i dont have any prejudices, how come they are not shows on the polish or any other race. are TV discriminating against other ethnic groups by not giving them tv shows?

I genuinely can't see the point in these shows, what's going to be solved? Some shows on TV3 can't bend over backwards enough to be seen to be PC, waste of time.

Throw in a vampire and you've got True Blood.

Meh. i think i'd rather see a program about the Gardai and Revenue and their effectiveness, how resources are allocated and where the blind spots in the system are. These are law and order issues, not traveller vs settled issues.

First time I heard Tv3 shows been called pc if anything they're right wing.

What's the story, was the show pulled, or has Colette Fitzpatrick started living in a mobile and collecting the dole?

No,I watched it,focused on Enniscorthy and the large population of travellers taking over in one part of the town.
TV3 show this stuff then the interviewer tries to be all pc & avoid controversy.
Local Councillor Paddy Kavanagh described "ethnic cleansing of settled folk in the area" as travellers buy up property & build without planning.

Ethnic cleansing? The cnut should read up about the real thing in Rwanda and ex Yugoslavia before mouthing such offensive crap.
