He's utterly ridiculous.

I never liked Mary Robinson.

I grew up with my sisters doing bad impressions of her "Mna na hÉireann" speech.

I was a perceptive child.

Andy Lee and Peter Casey

Just saying..

Aidric

Without reservation Andy Lee is a complete gentleman and role model. That said he is completely unrepresentative of the traveller community as a whole.

I'm no fan of Casey but I do appreciate the fact that he has brought this issue to the forefront. There have been many people and communities who have been blighted by traveller intimidation and criminality for decades and their concerns fell on deaf ears because public representatives needed to toe the safe line. They expressed their views in the ballot box and at the very least deserved to be involved in an adult discussion.

RTE have taken the soft focus option in order to placate the Casey voters. This will not advance the discussion unfortunately. If they were really serious about discussing this issue they would have facilitated an open discussion between traveller activists and community representatives who have been negatively impacted by travellers in their communities.

No better man than Casey to handle an ambush, I doubt he's going in cold, likely he will have researched every single guest and Tubs weak points for ammo before the show starts.

I'd say it will be more like he'll "wing it"

Compared to what beat him in the polls. He's clear from utterly riduculous. Believe me. At least he turned up for interviews . At least he's not hiding expenses. At least he has no problem travelling by car. At least he's truthful.

I think we should take a moment to think of the mods.

Poor mods.

I didn't know Andy Lee was a Traveller.

Neither do most of the people who don't like travellers.

Here's a guide to Dancing On The Stars 2019 Presenters and Contestants appearances on RTE Talk Shows 2018/19, which I will forget about and never update.

When I heard Andy Lee was on the same night as Peter Casey, I felt this was gonna be an ambush. Andy Lee would not represent the "stereotypical Traveller" in his manner or in his behaviour. He's an absolute gent. If all Travellers were as respectful as Andy Lee, then there would not have been such huge support for Casey's comments. But they are not.

Maybe they should ask bleeding heart Mary Robinson about her interactions with the Travellers. Maybe they could ask her about the fact that a year after she had them up dancing with her in the Aras, her father objected to them getting houses up near him and her brother in Mayo.

What was the word that Peter Casey used - "disingenuous" ?

Skid X

The Elders sounds like a Tribe from Game of Dragons, or one of those shows people get over-excited about.

I voted Higgins, because I think it's hilarious when he's smaller than the mascots on All Ireland day.

Or an episode from Lost in Space or Star Trek.

"The Elders will make their decision on your future soon. In the meantime, you will remain here on this planet as our guest". :P:P:P

We've returned some great Presidents all the same.

Has tubridy confirmed that he would be happy living next door to to a traveller encampment?

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but he did say that he wouldn't mind living beside a Chocolate Factory before.
