Isn't it part of their culture that ordinary working law abiding everyday Irish people treat them like scum ? It is right...

Wonder how they'll figure out who's claiming from who?

There are highly experienced consultants coming down from Longford to advise.

What I said last time this came up:

A law allowing for the immediate confiscation and destruction of both the horses and racing apparatus would be good.

But their father and his father before them raced sulkys on main roads while chasing them in luxury SUV's.

Sure the same way some were appropriating those Rhino Horns as they used hunt rhinos with a slash-hook on the savannahs of Rathkeale

Who’s going to stop them? You’re not seriously implying that the police should examine video evidence and follow up with arrests and prosecutions? That would mean having to deal with some potentially unsavoury individuals. Sounds like too much hard work. Oh look, there’s somebody not wearing a mask...

sure why would you bother when you can go after the real criminals - the teenagers sending instagram messages to Ian Wright -

lovely handy case like

no bother

print out from instagram and the court case is a cinch

I'm not going out to any halting site!

This is what happens when we don't provide facilties for lads to safely race sulkies and follow behind with Pajeros.
94.2% of travellers have been discriminated against, by not having public provided race tracks, to practise their cultural activities

Indeed.

The research also found that 46% of people said they would feel “uncomfortable with Roma and Travellers as neighbours”.

The survey of Rights and Living Conditions of Travellers in Ireland found that Travellers in Ireland reported having the lowest rates of employment across Europe, at just 15%.

It also found that one in ten Travellers, including children, report “going to bed hungry” at least once in the last month, rising to a fifth in some countries surveyed.

More than 90% said there is “insufficient and inadequate” accommodation available, including halting sites.

Ireland has the second highest rate of Traveller children participating in early childhood education, at 75%, however, it continues to lag behind that of the general population.

There is a 70% rate of early school leaving among Irish Travellers, compared with 5% for the general population.

Loads of stats there. Funny how they completely ignore the equally skewed stats for Traveller and Roma criminality and antisocial behaviour. As usual it's always somebody else's fault and they're always agentless victims. And who is pulling the kids out of the schools? The teachers? No, the parents. Education is quite simply not seen as a priority within the culture. If it were those stats wouldn't be the way they are. And then there is confusion why the unemployment figures are so high?

employment entails bank accounts, PAYE, PRSI etc .... that isn't inline with the culture either.

If officially 85% are unemployed - i'd be fairly sure there is more than 15% of the adults in the community getting up in the morning to 'go to work' - what ever that entails

They must have a right fcuckin laugh at us fools going to work, paying taxes, paying road tax, paying insurance, paying for accommodation, paying for schoolbooks, paying for their culture. Makes me want to vomit. Junkies bastardds.

None of us treat them like anything. They do whatever they want wherever they want. Who in their right mind would say anything offensive to a traveller?

Im speaking from my own experience and not saying the report is bogus but I legitimately cant think of one time I saw a traveller that didn't look "well fed" to say the least. You can talk about them having bad nutrition alright but Ive never seen one that looked in need of a meal.

“One dimension which is under-acknowledged outside the Traveller community is the absolutely central significance of the horse for Traveller life and society. That has to be acknowledged in terms of housing policy,” he said

Every cent currently going towards paying for Prof Flaherty's directorship of the 'Fundamental Rights Agency' should be spent on law enforcement.

Another generic traveller bashing thread. No thanks.

Some of these posts could be copy pasted from the last one.
