We do dump our rubbish all over their halting sites though apparently.

It's mad how the rubbish dumpers can get through the barricaded fortress that is your average halting site but nobody else can.

Now's our chance. To anyone that's moaned, ranted and has seen red over this problem, we've got a vote now. A vote for Casey directly correlates to the traveller problem. No excuses, get out and vote, better yet start canvassing your friends and family.

ha the ould lad hasn't voted in years but i told him to back casey at 100/1 and vote

I do like to travel. However, I'm not the travelling type that gets the racists frothing at the mouth though.

Casey`s comments may bring him up a few per cent in the election but I still don't see him getting enough support to claim his expenses which is the real motivating factor for why he said what he did.

You avail of the states education system, which is there for everyone, and if you don’t partake, don’t expect the state to help you game the ‘schemes’ later on;)

The business and banking community Casey belongs to were also educated by the 'system' and were much more effective at utilizing the 'schemes' and the 'games' than travellers could ever hope to.

Will you elect me Pres for saying that Brendy?

Poor Peter was called a racist live on national television last night. It didn't seem to bother him.

I was going to vote for him, but then he went all racist on us.

You're going mad trying to get people to throw away their money in nearly every post. I'm starting to think you're paddy power himself.

Because problems caused by a minority are whipped up into 'plagues' by ego driven charlatans and fed by keyboard warriors who have up to now failed to get their own public reps to do anything about it?

How come these 'racists' aren't racist against Chinese folks, for example? Could it be that those people simply work and get on with life without bothering and infringing on everyone around them?

Are you referring to the comment about chocolate and diabetes and somehow Gallagher vomited out "racism!"? Fucking bizarre.

If he won't I would give you an oul preference for it...

Mind you,I'm not at all certain that the Business & Banking vs Traveller comparison is at all valid,given the significant amounts of money being openly flaunted across the many ethnic Irish business/recreational sectors ?

Far too simplistic Francie.
I do however feel that you know the real reason.

A bit off topic, sorry.
I’ve moved out of parents place for ages now. My voting card is always sent to that address and I’ve always been back home to use my vote. I won’t be able to make it home to vote this time however.
But I’ve been told that if you have a voting card and proper ID, you can show up at any voting center. Is this right or total BS?
Edit: Can I get my mother to post me my voting card that has arrived at home place and use it here?

I have to agree with some commentators that someone at rock bottom in the polls is getting a disproportionate amount of air time. It's job done as far as he's concerned.

He had to do something to get noticed. It's like he's stripped himself naked, smeared himself in his own excrement and started shouting the first thing that came into his head. While the odd person stops and says 'hold on lads, let's hear what the crazy person has to say' and getting very irate when people laugh at him.

He's a terrible politician, terrible debater and a terrible interviewee. His mouth moves quicker than his brain.

It gives me great pleasure watching people trying to shill for this guy, not an easy task.

Have you any idea of the support Peter Casey has on this point? Any? He'll finish second or win on the back of that mini rant alone.
