How come CAB never go after travellers?

12gauge dave

We always hear of the criminal assets bureau hunting down drug criminals and the likes but never travellers who flaunt their wealth without a care in the world?
No job no tax being paid but yet big houses and new vans/jeeps and cab dont care? Am i missing something here?

Some of them pull money scams, so racial profiling should be allowed for black people and Africans.

How come they don't round up the Irish in the UK? Everyone know we're just drunker brawlers who fiddle benefits.

OH come off it. Who would you rather living beside you ? a bunch of nigerians or
a pack pf pikeys ? I'm guessing it wouldn't be the latter.

Lets be honest here, the majority of travellers contribute nothing good to society, all they do is bleed the state dry and commit crime and get away with it, while you the average joe pay for it. If that was you or me do you'd think we'd get away it ? Not a ****ing chance

I don't care if i get a ban, but the fooking lot off them should be wiped off the face of this earth!

I don't know about CAB but I know the Garda, along with Revenue, raided Labre park near Ballyfermot about three weeks ago.

I don't think it is.

I think you made that up to make what to you seemed like a clever/funny point.

I know of 1 case from the early 2000s when CAB seized €1.5 million from three Travellers.
I had the unfortunate case of actually knowing them, and they were from the southwest. I got a warning for telling this story on a different forum on boards before, as it was called Traveller bashing, even when though it actually happened.
Many years ago when I was more naive, much younger and far less cynical, I let my good heart give these three guys a chance. I gave them some work to fix and replace some shutes on the house. Price agreed, job was done, then they wanted several times the agreed price, became threatening and intimidating, this was a time before I had a mobile phone. I gave them a small bit over the agreed price to get rid of them as they did not want to leave, told them I would have the rest in a few days. A couple of days later they rang looking for the money, I told them they were not getting anymore. They said they would return and remove the materials, I said 'fine, go ahead, but I will have the Gardai here watching you stealing from me'. I was then told 'go into Kilkenny and hang yourself off John's bridge', he then immediately hung up after saying that. They were not nice people...
Valuable lesson learned, enjoyed being told to kill myself as I knew it was then saying 'They would not be back' which they weren't, but a couple of years later, I was bringing the Sunday paper home to my elderly neighbour, had a read before giving it to her, and here I see the three had assets seized by CAB, one had €600k, the other €500k and the 3rd €400k worth of assets seized.
I was delighted for them, I knew they got some form of justice.
So CAB do seize assets from Travellers, as they would from the settled community.

That's disgraceful :mad:

No, no they're not.

So in summary, they do go after travellers just like they go after everyone else. Travellers are overrepresented when it comes to crime but for all the same reasons that black people are overrepresented in crime in the US. A lot of you would be burning crosses and dressing up in white sheets at the weekend if you lived there.

I always enjoy the irony.

Their hatred is based on ignorance and prejudice. When they point to crime stats, education, violence, addiction etc. it's only an excuse for bigotry. However, when we do, oh it's because we know what our targets are really like...

Travellers are like south africans in the 90s or Israelis now. Fair game. Liberals can take all the hatred out on them.

How is it begrudgery to ask why someone can own palatial houses and drive expensive cars on €188 a week?

Revenue and the Social Welfare Dept should be more proactive in finding out who among them has money and make them pay their share.

tbh I have had that thought about the nigerians myself , I can only guess that the bulk of the money is shipped out of the country so there isn't much left to seize - same as eastern european criminals.

They can be victims of bigotry, prejudice and intolerance. And racism often is taken to encompass hatred of an ethnic group.

Black people can be racist towards white people. In fact white people can be racist towards white people if they consider white people to be inferior.

So what? If a traveler moves to the US his skin color will gave him enormous privilege. Saying travelers can be victims of racism is akin to saying men can be victims of sexism. Utter nonsense.

As with all white people they have privilege and need to acknowledge it.

I think CAB do go after travellers.
In the last few years they've being several documentaries/reality TV programs about travellers. In these programs they often spend thousands on ceremonies/events and they've no really source of income. The people selling these goods to travellers always say you never talk to to them about money.
These programs are one of the reasons people are turning off travellers.
I know lots of people who don't give care if you end up on social welfare/have a council house etc but they expect you to live within your means. Example theirs no problem with having a handy car such as second hand Ford Focus or Opel Corsa but when your turning up to the Post Office to collect your social welfare in a brand new car it just rubs people up the wrong way.
When my parents were young people felt sorry for travellers and offered them little jobs on farms if they were passing through town. People like seeing the old style caravan(Wanderly Wagon style) the odd bit of thieving might have happened but people generally felt for travellers and in my experience they don't as much now.
I went to primary school with nice travelling boys. Who were generally in school and well behaved. Their was none of this things about the traveller was sent to the back of the room or wasn't talked to by odd people(apart from the odd snobby guy but he didn't talk to lots of people). However once these guys reached secondary school they basically stopped going to school and I honestly don't know why. One guy was a nice lad and I saw him after years and we said hello to one another but it would have being nice to see him to do his Junior Cert but I suppose at thirteen of my parents didn't send me to school I wouldn't have had much of a choice.
However people in my experience are terrified of travellers in rural area. They don't fear the Hutch/Kenahan feud but people are scared of travellers for various reason. Mainly because they've had so many bad experience in the past.
I know people and if they were told their child/grandchild was marrying a foreign person. It might have being an issue in the past but they'd have no issue now because they've had good experience with foreign people.
Same goes with somebody of a different religion or skin color. Even people who'd have being very anti-gay even up to ten years ago are very accepting now and would have no issue with it.(The odd parent might be a little upset their wasn't a church wedding but they'd get over it.)
However if somebody brought home a traveller I could see their being a massive cultural and acceptance clash between families. With both families having issues.
