    O mahony seems convinced that this is behind the high imprisonment rates

    If you can't trust a liberal from the world of broadcasting, who can you trust


    Google 'Traveller Gang jailed'.
    There is good reason for the high inprisonment rate.

    Which facts?
    Look all over the world, indigenous and marginalized people are over represented in prisons.

    Of course they are, if they commit crimes and are criminals, they go to prison.

    Travellers are not indigenous to Ireland. Irish people are the indigenous population and have been living on this island for approx 8,000 years before Travellers showed up 400 years ago. Travellers are in prison because they live a life of social welfare dependance which they supplement with crime. They are not a downtrodden, oppressed minority. They are a section of society who do not want to live by laws and taxes. They want to do whatever they please and they get away with more sh!t than any other section. They are also the most racist people in Ireland, which makes their cries of racism pretty pathetic.

    Choosing to live outside the rules of society is not the same as being marginalised. They want all the benefits of society without the responsibilities. Cry me a river.

    Not being contrarian but needed work done to my house, brick repointing, chimney capping, guttering, etc, bloke came round to do the job, his origins only sank in after mulling over his accent, surname and connection to a large Midlands town, anyway, him and his colleagues were perfect gentlemen, didn't overcharge and did a sterling job. They can't all be the spawn of Satan.

    He he he.
    I wonder was the capping a bit like that filmed by that British TV program about dodgy tradesmen where a traveller "gentleman" was filmed actually painting the capping with very watery concrete.

    Looks great when it is done, but about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

    Your experience is the same interactions people have everyday with 99% of Travelers.
    For some reason people use the bad apple's or the 1% of Travelers to discredit all Travelers

    By god those 1% must be very very busy if they manage to cause all the fights at funerals/weddings, cause all the mayhem in pubs, leave all the cr** at illegal encampments, cause all the thefts, carry out all the bogus accidents, carry out all the illegal highly dangerous sulky races on national roads and manage to pi** off the vast majority of the population.

    And who said travellers aren't hard working. :D

    Well the guards do have form in this.
    People should remember how many outstanding arrest warrants Frog Ward had when he finally met justice.

    RTE are spineless.

    They hide the criminality committed by the various groups that are adored by the Liberal Left.

    Newspapers usually don't mention travellers, but they leave in words and phrases like "family feud", "several slash hooks recovered", "Ward" or "it started at a childs communion party" so we know what's actually going on

    119 previous convictions between them and they got a suspended sentence. Why ?

    They should have all been thrown in jail - why is this type of behaviour constantly tolerated.

    Was doing the same sums myself. Fooking shocking. And here’s me with zero convictions paying for it all.

    Don't forget the legal profession such as judges are more then delighted to keep things turning as they give work to the solicitors and barristers that they themselves once were.


    The whole system from the top down needs sorting.

    White collar crime is another huge issue needs dealing....

    I work hard and do it all by the letter of the law but these scum bags don't have to.
