    You can bet that if the houses were assigned to anyone else, even other travellers, that the houses would be trashed before they could move in.

    So let the government spend a fee of our tax euros.
    Hired goons to look after the houses, any body turns up and starts causing trouble.....bam.

    Listened to the 2nd episode of Casey's Newstalk show last night, thought he did better than the first one. A bit stumbly at times but he made bits of whoever the woman was, she couldn't live with him.

    Indeed he easily dismantled her arguments.

    Disgraceful isn't even close to describing this.
    You can't be on the road without child seats, seatbelts, lights, tyres, nct the whole lot. Rightfully.
    But you can tear around with children hanging off sulkys on motorways. I mean come on.
    There's a problem with authority not wanting to tackle this.

    The ARU should be drafted in asap to deal with these wasters.

    if those houses were assigned to anyone else i would expect them to be burnt out

    Or even if they occupy them they will burn them when Grandad Connors pops his clogs?
    It's our culture boss

    Great headline...

    "Callout for nominations for the 2019 Traveller Pride Awards"

    I can see some confusion happening there.

    The categories are: Education, Arts or Culture, Music,
    Enterprise or Employment, Youth, Sport,
    Community, Intersectionality (new award).

    Interesting to see "Sinn Féin Councillor and animal rights campaigner Catherine Carey" leading on this.



    The SF party orthodoxy is to drive out any heretics that express insufficient admiration for Traveller Culture. Will Ms Carey campaign for animal rights here by ignoring the elephant in the room or challenge her own party by speaking honestly?

    What use is one warden for the whole of Tipperary anyway? IMO its a move to show they are trying to do something while actually doing nothing. Travellers as a whole will never be called out on their disgraceful, backward treatment of animals.

    It's some size of a county. From Portumna/Lorrha in the NW to Carrick on Suir in the SE is about 130 KM

    They might stick the warden up on a crane and give him a good pair of binoculars.

    One warden is better than no warden.
    The people of south tipp have been looking for a horse warden for a long time now due to a lot of horse cruelty.A march to the local council offices brought some pressure and eventually the council asked the government and it was denied.

    A horse warden for tipp would probably result in requests from other councils too,then we would have wardens checking horse's all over the country for micro chips.....this will stop horse cruelty but will upset traveller's

    I hope you're right about it being the start of seeing more wardens hired, its badly needed. If it leads to horses being taken from travellers, happy days but for right now, 1 warden in Tipp is a load of sh*te.

    Could have done without the link!

    Poor horses, ponies and asses have no rights it seems.

    Noble creatures who have served mankind for centuries. They deserve a lot better.

    Fck Pavee Point, the ISPCA need to take over here.

    Pavee Point have no interest in animal welfare, its glossed over all the time. Do the ISPCA inspectors get paid enough to deal with this though? I wouldn't enjoy being the guy trying to take a load of horses out of a halting site.

    A warden is at nothing dealing with the travellers. You'd want the army when dealing with them.

    Property right laws need to be amended in this country, as far as im concerned if someone illegally parks on your land you should have the right to crush their caravans if you like. Far too many legal hoops and red tape to deal with just to remove people from your own bloody land. We've tried the soft approach with them and they only take the piss. Time for a hardline stance, no more free stuff and if you break the law your heading to jail.

    Not a chance of that happening because 5 out of 6 Presidential candidates would have no problem living beside a halting site - apparently.

    Which brings us nicely back around to the very un-PC, PC!

    It took the litter warden 2 whole months to remove black bags of rubbish from a riverbank in rural Tipperary. Any chance of finding evidence of culprits was long gone, along with most of the bags contents by then!

    I can't find a link for this but a few year's ago the tipperary council spent a lot of money rounding up stray horse's and housing them but it went to the courts and the judge gave the horses back.
    I think the traveller's made a promise to the judge but a few of these horses were found starved to death later.
    The tipp council have tried but law and government have fail to get tough with this issue


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,559 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    When will it sink into taxpayers that a large majority of these people have no interest,respect,or tolerance for the laws of our state.

    These people do what they like, carry on whatever way they like, cost the state huge money whilst contributing nothing.

    And all we hear from them is complaints about not enough funding for their well being.

    I would love if someone did a case study on a group, for say a ten year period and publish what they cost to state.

    Incredible that the taxpayer is still putting up with this carry on.

    There is something seriously wrong in a country when the powers that be side with law breakers against the wishes of the vast majority of its population who uphold the law. Travellers seem to be treated with kid gloves by politicians and the media.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 277 ✭✭CosmicJay


    I've had a recent run in with our fine Minkiers, they liberated me of some fine valuable metal that was round and shiney and went on a mechanical horse.

    I'm not sure what I am doing wrong, should I invite them in and let them have sex with my family? I just dont know what to do anymore.

    Sterilize all of them, there's no other way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,255 ✭✭✭✭normanoffside


    I see that Mags ‘loved’ the post attacking the ‘illegle imrgrints’

    Again I thought she was anti racism?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,968 ✭✭✭Deebles McBeebles


    She's very picky about racism. If you're Irish or an ethnic minority who is Irish, its grand.
