    He's talking far too much sense now about people turning down free houses.

    Surprised he doubled down on the social housing comment, it's arguably the more controversial one

    Well I guess posting an armed response unit in Rathkeale last Christmas was all about protecting the rich then.

    Nothing to see here. Everyone move along.

    The ARU have been deployed more than just in traveller camps.

    If you have a good enough barrister you can get away with Murder- ask OJ!

    And if you are rich and clever you'll find a way for the state to pay. I see it everyday

    Casey wanted to highlight housing crisis so happened to pick 6 houses related to Travellers - not the developers hoarding land and houses, not the REITs screwing people (probably a bit too close to home for him with his millionaire mates). What a dishonest charlatan.

    there are many travellers where i live. i and my neighbours are not "terrorised" by them.
    that type of inflammatory, hate-filled language is often used by ......?

    you guessed it! FASCISTS

    You have all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, rattler missing from sandbox.

    Non loaded question. Do Travellers vote much?

    The amount of sugar-coating and tip-toeing around the fact that many of the problems Traveller's face are of their own making.

    With the greatest of respect, you sound like a tool. They're there because they're scrotes and they got caught being scrotes. Stop trying to romanticise it. Embarrassing.

    I have to disagree slightly. Would a lot of the guys in prison be there if they'd been born to richer families? Probably not. the prison population in every country is skewed towards the poorer people in society.

    That's not absolving them of blame. Not everyone in that situation commits crime. And there has to be personal responsibility. I just mean that there can be contributing factors.

    Why would you need travelling aparatus and horse facilities if you were based in a house permanently?

    For a population of 30k they are very close to many of the presidential candidates

    It's almost like they are lying

    I assume Michael D's claim of not being against a halting sure can be fact checked

    Some amount of Travellers calling to their houses. Mad that.
