    It's a sad attempt to be covert.

    I think it's usually "Mary X Johnny" for example, I always thought the "X" means a kiss or love.

    Could be completely wrong though.

    Honestly? Because the women probably aren't allowed to have their own profile without showing that they belong to someone.

    It's time the government, Revenue and CAB came down on these wasters.

    A waste of space and oxygen.

    CAB are starting to tackle the "travelling crime gangs" and I hope revenue are following up on the raids as its always reported that revenue staff were there.

    The government only gave them their welfare for life pass so I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.

    It is no accident, or homage to previous family members, that the same small pool of Christian names are used over and over.

    Take them all off site.
    Go down the FBI/CIA route.
    Get them to talk.

    Even harder for the travellers themselves when they queue up at Revenue to pay their taxes and they can't be differentiated on they system. Must be very frustrating for them

    Not sure if you’re serious.

    Have a listen to this and educate yourself on one of the oldest running jokes.

    Suddenly all planning objections are dropped and the developer enacts the buyback clause in the sale contract. Sneaky fucker! :P

    No planning permission, damaging a conservation area and illegally accessing utilities etc etc, yet they are still there? A new set of laws specifically pertaining to our wandering friends might be in order because if it was anyone else they would be out on their arse already.

    Now now we have to be mindful of their 'unique culture' and bend over backwards to facilitate it at all costs
