Can a settled person become a "traveller" ?

Dr Brown

I would like to become a "traveller" so that I can become tax exempt and not be subject to the normal rules of society.

If I turned up to social welfare and said that I now consider myself to be a "traveller" would they set me up as one ?

Strip a length of copper wire with your fingernails in under 30 seconds and you might qualify for the qualifiers.

Send a callout video to the taxman with you punching a bag and talking about how you'll not be paying anymore tax for s**e in a bucket.

end of the road will be able to hook you up with someone who can sort it for you.
Don't stress OP, in the mean time empty your wheelie bin all over your back garden, put on a vest and drink a few cans, maybe tie up a dog or give your missus a slap or two, you know, get a feel for it.

Are travellers unsettled?

Hector Savage

Maybe start up your own fly tippin' business, you can collect all your neighbours rubbish for €5 a hosehold and then just dump it on the roadside a few miles away ...

Hugely against.

Newstalk did a piece on it last week. Very interesting interviews.

Traveller devotion to Catholicism is remarkable and a little scary.

You're doing it all wrong - travellers don't ask, they demand.

It's selective Catholicism. Many of them tend to ignore the seventh commandment!

Would you be prepared to take the lower life expectancy too?

Not sure if there is a medical procedure to remove the brain part that allows for empathy towards suffering animals, but I'd start there.

They are only Cultural Catholics.

I have a relation whos a priest and he said that the traveller kids never turn up for any of preparations for holy communion.

Aren’t most Irish people cultural Catholics?

Also I think travellers are very big into the apparitions (eye issueswhen you stare at the sun for too long)..

Don't go balls deep straight away. Become a "settled traveller" first.

That way you still get all the good bits, (no tax, expectations etc), but you don't have to go camping 12 months of the year.

Some kids in my school are registered as travellers, they ain't travellers but we know they are doing it to access HEAR for leaving cert points . For those in the know they are using the 1,2,4 route as 5,6 doesn't apply to our school.

That is true. A particular devotion to Mary. In the countryside, if you have a statue of the virgin Mary outside your house, you are less likely to get burgled. When i was a kid, the house on the road with no alarm and a virgin mary statue was left alone, and all the houses with dogs and alarms were burgled.

Has it occurred to you that they were probably the ones doing the burgling?:D

probably because they were poor. The best defence against burglars is rich neighbours
