And so it begins

http://www.thejournal.ie/readme/traveller-ethnicity-we-always-knew-we-were-people-in-our-own-right-3433619-Jun2017/?utm_source=facebook_short

We do expect substantial, progressive changes, for example in the delivery of Traveller accommodation, in repealing the Criminal Trespass legislation, in education and health, in effective anti-discrimination measures and cultural rights, including in the contentious area of Traveller horse ownership

Repealing the Criminal Trespass legislation?
What the slippery fcuk has that got to do with "discrimination" or membership of any ethnic group?
Unless their perceived "Right to roam" somehow extends to other people's yards, sheds, lands and homes.

Unbelievable.

Yea.
It's worrying language and sentiment there. By being given their "ethnic status" it will force the flow of concessions in their direction with no commitment to improve the anti social aspect of their lifestyle.

I hope Enda is happy with his grand gesture.

FAKE NEWS! :pac:

It won't mean a thing and coming from the journal.ie (considering this is boards.ie) doesn't mean that it hasn't been embellished a bit to outrage the public.

Calm down folks. The same laws of the land will apply to everyone.

One law for the rich, one for the poor, and one for the ethnic communities.

The same laws don't apply now, it will just become more of a problem.

For those interested.

This is a bit awkward coming after a post about the ethnicity of Irish Travellers and if it means anything or not and whether we are all going to become Travellers now.:D

How can I lead into this? Hmmm?

I posted before about the Palatines in Ireland and how they arrived here and what I posted I heard from my folks.
So I was looking up this evening about it again and found a Wikipedia page about them.

Europe at the time was a very impoverished place with the Nine Years War and the Spanish Wars of Succession and with the French army repeatedly invading the palatinate for requisitions of food and supplies left famine and strife in the area. Then coupled with a very severe Winter of 1708 where "birds froze in the air". So it must have been a dangerous time to be living in with frozen dead birds falling out of the sky.

Anyway the call went out from Queen Anne that don't worry poor palatine refugees I will look after you and send you on free passage out to the Carolinas.
So coupled with Hunger and maybe religious persecution and a sense of adventure with the prospect of free land in America. They sailed in their little boats down the Rhine to Amsterdam where the British boats picked them up for London.

The irony of the previous discussion is that a successful colony seems to have been in Rathkeale in Limerick.:p Not sure they thought they'd end up there.:D

In Limerick mostly around Ballingrane/Askeaton area, I can't tell offhand but my grandmother descended from the Palatines.

I came in through the small orchard we have at the side of the house this morning. I was surprised at the amount of apples on the trees. One or two are great yielders and they will break under the weight of apples and even the poorer trees have a good number of apples in them.

Apple cakes galore this autumn:)

Indeed, half our trees are setting plenty of apples, no soft fruit on them, plumbs and damsons were got by late frosts.
Also gooseberry and the currants have heavy crops.

Rhubarb started the year well but the wind has beaten it badly at this stage.

I make apple jelly - it's the daughter's favorite jam. When the glut of apples is in I juice them and freeze the juice until I need it. Have a container defrosting atm and plan to make some jelly tomorrow. It is lovely with whole cloves to add to the flavor. She loads it onto toast ...... yum!

KatyMac · 12-06-2017 07:04PM

Was looking at an American cattle breeders site the other evening and they seemed to say that if you animal was 87% the breed then it was considered pure bred. Is that the same in this country? I can't find any info. I've been breeding angus cattle for long time now, but I didn't start with pure angus so assumed they would never be called 'pure'. A good few of them are now in that area according to icbf. Just wondering is it possible that at some stage the AAX could be replaced with AA!!!!

We used to make it with crab apples. We'd pick them off trees growing in the bog when bringing home the turf. Stew to a pulp with sugar and hang it up in muslin cloth to drain. Now that was as nice a jelly as you'd eat!!

I'd say it'd be grand for hay or a bitta haylage . It'd be tough silage

lakill Farm · 13-06-2017 02:37PM

:rolleyes: so what would the rate be for the meadow?

kollegeknight · 13-06-2017 03:00PM

had pop into Ennis to renew the driving license- I hadn't a booking. 37 minutes from when I parked- got the hair cut and into the place. They're fair quick in there.
