    Sent to RTE and a shorter version to Broadcasting Authority of Ireland.

    Dear Sir

    Shameful ,shameful, shameful interview and ambush of a Peter Casey last night!  Truly appalling stuff !
    Did I miss something or was this Prime Time Debate without the debate? This is meant to be relaxed Friday night viewing .  Instead Ryan Tubridy followed his own PERSONAL agenda and that of RTÉ and  the mainstream media .  RTE were complicit in this.  It was deeply uncomfortable viewing.

    Ryan Tubridy really let his UNPROFESSIONALISM show by saying “if I lost control you’ll know about it “ and “you were the least bright in the family “ comments.   Who the hell does he think he is and what the hell was he insinuating ??  He literally barraged Peter C with question after question barely allowing him to reply .  After 2 words of a response Ryan Tubridy switched to a other question.  Horrible interviewing and horrible to watch .  (Would Ryan Tubridy or any of the elite in RTE allow a halting site beside their gated big houses?)

    The ploy of leaving Peter Casey to last knowing he would have a few drinks also worked.   Yes he was unprepared but as I said this is relaxed Friday night viewing.  NOT a presidential or political debate.  Ryan Tubridy licks politicians backsides all the time . He never interrupts other guests as much.  He was all over Mary Robinson and Adam Lee.  

    Truly appalled at your production last night and at Ryan Tubridy and his attempt to shut down Peter Casey and prevent open debate.  He will not shut down public opinion on this subject and on himself after this.  It has already backfired spectacularly!  
    Imagine Graham Norton or Pat Kenny interviewing  like this!

    Forget the Late Late Toy Show and Ryan Tubridy aping around the place, his image is tarnished big time after this.
    Nothing will happen unfortunately, RTE and the establisgment will sit tight awaiting it to die down or go away. The mainstream media are very quiet which is strange because its one of the big talking points from the weekend.
    Just goes to show they are all in each other's pockets, RTE, Independent, Times, the Journal etc etc. All just peddlars of propaganda. I really hope a majority of Irish people will not renew their tv licence.

    yeah its a case of Media, Government controlling what is broadcast , what we read and hear. I've only woken up to this in the last year. Comments are often deleted on The Journal. RTE are particularly heavy on censorship. Quite scary in a so called democracy, sounds more like a dictatorship.

    Yep, you got it in one. Its been like a rabbit hole for me, going back to my childhood and how I was indoctrinated into this system.

    i am going to write my complaint on paper and send it to rte

    get your act together or get out

    Many working class areas of Dublin have Traveller sites beside them and many mix well with them in school etc. It's one of the reasons why working class Dublin didn't get excited about the Traveller comments.

    They have more important issues to think about.

    I said dublin city centre, dublin north and dublin south both voted him second.

    You see this shows you really haven't a clue.
    A lot of travellers talk about the Traveller way. They don't want to mix.
    You talk about domestic robbery as if that's the only crime that travellers commit. There are a lot of travellers heavily involved in drugs, from dealing to purchase and transportation. They are involved in money laundering and professional robberies and other crimes worldwide.
    They are networked worldwide these days.
    The ones that aren't involved don't want to be part of anything else because it's frowned upon by their peers.
    Also the figures you and others rely upon are based off of convictions not off of how many travellers are actually involved in crime.
    It's a lot harder to track stuff down on a camp site than it is in a warehouse ergo less convictions.

    This fake tough guy Tubridy should be fired for this and an apology forthcoming from RTE. Flood them with complaints our taxes pay this muppets 500k salary.

    Imagine if Casey replied to Tubridy's 'If i do you'll know about it' by replying something like. 'What did you say Ryan? Are you threatening me? How will i know about it? How is a 7 stone weed like you with no actual or metaphorical backbone going to hurt me?'.

    No wonder Tubridy ran away from Twitter a few years ago. Couldn't hack the completely honest appraisals of his shítshow on a weekly basis. Handily for him, he could put it down to mean, rude people online.


  • Registered Users Posts: 721 ✭✭✭Defaulter1831


    THe whole PC 23% gets to Tubridy so much because he sees 'Trumpism' at work. He can't cope with this anti establishment, anti PC, anti we tell you how to think because we know best phenomenon seen around the world over the past few years.

    I'm not saying it's a good thing, probably responsible for Brexit etc. However certain cliques and 'elites' have a smug superiority complex with nothing behind it. Tubridy is a prime example. They exist and grow in confidence by constantly back slapping one another and trying to dominate the narrative in the media. Wannabes like the Maguire woman etc will gladly join the club.

    It doesn't include the elderly couple in Westmeath who were broken into and beaten up by criminals or travellers. It won't reflect the reality on the ground. It's full of fuzzy happy banalities like 'inclusivity'.

    How about the law is the law and you break it you suffer the consequences. Anyone living in this Republic must abide by the law and not shirk responsibility because of made up crap like 'ethnic minority' it's part of my culture to bare knuckle fight like a thug etc.

    Again, they may have one interaction every couple of years. Travellers do not affect our daily lives. You've been tricked into getting all angry over something that doesn't affect our daily lives.

    Speak for yourself! I've had interaction with them on several occasions and it wasn't pleasant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 721 ✭✭✭Defaulter1831


    So who's life is affected daily by Travellers?

    Absolutely ridiculous to suggest Travellers are that influential in our society...over say wages, mortgage repayments, high rent, food prices, secure employment, access to good quality education.. you know the actual things that matter to people.

    Maybe if your farm implements, work tools, machinery was stolen or you were beaten up and hit with a crow bar it might effect you?

    Mortgage, secure employment, education are only some aspects of life. Have you been attacked with a crowbar by 2 travellers? The mortgage goes out of your mind pretty quickly.

    None of these incidents involved you or affect people on a daily basis.

    It just seems ridiculous to get hyped up over Travellers.

    Anyway greater inclusion, less discrimination and better education will ensure that Travellers will work and not resort to stealing, the minority that do rob.

    What?! This is a breathtaking inability to engage with other people's views and experiences. No doubt you also think we should be more empathetic to travellers. I just gave you 4 examples of how widespread troubles with travellers are and you have just ignored it completely. That's almost sociopathic to be able to ignore people's arguments like that.

    You do realise you have just dismissed a fear of being the victim of crime as irrational simply because one doesn't get robbed every single day.

    Just to reiterate...if we let our guard down even for a very short while in rural areas we will be robbed and the likelihood is that it will be travellers. One member of our family sleeps over at our grandparents every night of the week because of the threat of burglary on the elderly in rural Ireland. And to be honest I don't particularly want to see my neighbours or their families burglarised either although you seem to be okay with that.

    So again please tell me how to Traveller crime is something which does not affect our lives everyday? And if you want to get into stats about the tiny "minority" who commit crime I'll gladly do that too. There are roughly 5-7% of the male population of travellers in jail at any one time. It's not a small minority. It's a very sizeable proportion.

    I just gave him four examples of Traveller crime amongst my business and our three closest neighbours in the last 3 years. And I genuinely mean closest as they all border us. He just dimissed it completely as it doesn't happen every day. You couldn't make it up. Some people just will not engage....it's worrying.

    I had to fight off 2 trying to steal my oil a year ago. One with a crowbar. Only i put up serious resistance and bought enough time for a neighbour to help. They got away in their van, pipe trailing behind that they were using to steal the oil from the tank.

    That hotmail guy is in cuckoo land.

    I get so sick of reading these bullsh1t Pc sound bites that amount to a big fat zero..

    Travelers don’t live by our rules. They don’t want to live by our rules. They just want the benefits that go with living in a country where many of us lose over 50% of our wages on direct and indirect taxation so we can give it to these scroungers.

    The level of control and censorship is starting to get a bit scary..

    That car crash of a show on Friday night was in part down to Ryan’s complete lack of talent but it was also a little glimpse at the sheer rage of the establishment when anyone dares speak out and rock their cosy little boat..

    It’s about time someone challenged them and showed them up for what they are..

    Let’s roxk the sh1t out of the boat. Capsize it !!

    Niall Boylan had a decent airing of it on his 4fm show today. I only heard 30mins
    or so. Every caller was basically saying Tubridy was a wanker. Niall pleaded for someone that thought RT was right to ring in and nobody did.

    Don't think the podcast is up yet. The only guy with the balls to do it.

    Go Niall.

    No one pays even close to 50% of their wages on tax.

    The effective tax for higher income earners is about 35%.

    He said through direct and indirect taxation. He did not say income tax only.

    Also, I note you have failed to respond to either of my posts in any constructive or nuanced way. The NPC programming is very limited in this one it appears. Very short of pre approved responses.

    But it doesn't happen every day. You just confirmed my point.

    Daily bread and butter issues of income, rent, housing, ill health, food prices, relationships etc etc. These are genuine daily concerns that people have.


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,314 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    What exactly is 'better education ' for travellers?

    Do you want them to get specialist schools or teachers? Better than the ones the rest of the population get?

    They have exactly the same access to the country's education system that the rest of our children have. The fact that they don't send their kids to school everyday, to learn and try to better themselves is not our fault. It's their decision.

    Tell me how they need better education. They just need education full stop.

    Measure of the sort of people that listen to Boylan. A minority of the nation interested in bashing Travellers. The rest worry about their daily concerns.

    I'm sure the thousands of elderly people locking their door tonight fearing for their safety agree with you.

    Yes.

    Travellers need extra help and support. It will give employment to more teachers and support staff. It will also read to greater integration with the settled folk. So I would have thought posters like you would favour this.
