Lets see if Leo gets the Law and Order message that the rural areas have sent him .

Thankfully people have spoken about that protected class and their wild, shameless sense of entitlement. Not liking drug dealing, theft, intimidation, and a complete contempt for basic rules of civility from a crew of inbreds isn't 'racist' which anyhow is not the correct term. Itinerants got recognition as an ethnicity of some sort, not as a race, inbreeding, violence and drugs are powerful enough for that.

You clearly haven't a single clue about American Politics a state of 325,000,000 people from cultures all over the world, a highly complex Political System with hugely diverse regional issues and concerns, I do not like Trump, but that doesn't matter I know I am clueless as to the motivations of why he was elected....but welcome to boards all the same!

I bet if the Travellers parked up outside Aras.

Higgins would be first to call for them to leave.

Just like Mary Robinson did years ago when travellers set up a halting site near her mansion.

My take on this 340k voted that they are fed up with the media, Leo telling people who to vote for, paying tax for to keep social going for people who will not work and using the housing crisis to better their way.
The people who should take note of Casey’s vote is rural TD because the voters can sack them at the next election and out of 340k how many TD need these votes to get to the dail and the rural vote are fed up of no law and order and Leo and the Dublin media dismissing the people in the rural community.
The shinners if they had ant sense they should target this vote. For the media to keep spouting that we have full employment and 5% not willing to work that is ok.

Yeah it's borderline Venezuela. I don't disagree with other stuff you're saying but people need to chill out with the hysteria like above too.

Travellers live like royalty.

Highest rates of suicide, shortest life expectancy and youngest at marriage.

I know
Allot of Irish people don’t understand the royalty but they live very different lives to travellers.

Solution is simple, starting say ... 2020

- childrens allowance only for the first 2 children

to make up the shortfall provide incentives for people at the other end of the scale


The current human breeding program doesn't seem to be working out

There is no substance to your criticism. By all means debate his points. But just scoffing is wafer thin.

There is no substance to Peter Casey.

I mean clearly moving all 30,000 Irish travellers to Aras an Uachtarain is a ludicrous idea
Clearly the notion that he will join FF tomorrow, be elected for them in Donegal, be elected as their leader is also ludicrous.

I was scoffing because his latest utterances are just off the wall

Said something without realizing the impact. Then took a few days off. Then realised he could double down on it and say a few more populist things and get his money back.



He appeared to be making it up as he went along.

I actually think it was quite strategic

Say something negative about travellers to rile people up
Feign a dramatic "I might leave" to keep the news headlines spotlight
Come back in to keep the headlines on you
Stand by yoyr traveller comments and find other easily attackable targets

But if he wanted to go down that route he could have done so earlier.




And he could have paired it with some actual "policies"


I mean, for a "businessman" not to know the figures he was talking about (how much is the dole), is fairly pathetic

The article you link to has the following quote for those sneering about Mickey-D saying he wouldn't mind living beside halting site

She is a neighbour of President Michael D Higgins, living in an estate built to replace the Rahoon flats down the hill from his Circular Road home.

“Michael D was often in having tea with many of us, and so was his wife, Sabina,” Ms Ward said. “He knows about our high suicide rate – 11 times that of the settled community, particularly among young men – and he has been to our funerals and to our cultural events.”

We lived with the Un-truths about the catholic church for years .

Are we now to live another set of un-truths i.e. that travellers are not responsible for the vast majority of Rural Crime .

It didn’t work out too well before i.e ignoring inconvenient truths .

Not to mention their own their own failings on racism, homophobia and women's rights as well.
Travellers are very intolerant people themselves.

I thought it was the social welfare stance that made Casey popular? Or have ye stopped trying to bang that drum?

Read the thread title, and he added the caveat of welfare as well, but I think mainly because he just opened up a debate, that was prior to his outburst, taboo!

People should be free to listen to whoever in order to inform themselves, and should not be judged in doing so

He is only one of the Clergy of Political Correctness . We have already gone down that road in Ireland with disastrous results .

This New Clergy try to control what we talk about in the Media . They are rattled because they have lost control for a short period .
