    Apparently it was known as hedge pig because it tasted like pork, which is where the modern hedgehog name comes from.

    A large group of Guards had to remove horses from a well known Halting Site in Kilkenny today. This is an area where loads of horses have been killed by travellers.

    Kind of on topic.....

    What's the difference between a hi-ace van and a hedgehog?

    The pricks are on the OUTSIDE of a hedgehog...

    ..........And they'll have all the ponies replaced tomorrow! No chips, passports or horse keepers registered number; and no Department of Agriculture official will ever go next or near them.

    Targeted at a halting side. Unlikely to be a case of an innocent man targeted.

    The last 3 times I have heard travellers mentioned in the news this week
    1 Some of the Traveller burgulary gangs are operating in the UK . The guards claim this is due to operation Thor but others say it’s due to the fact they’ve robbed anyone worth robbing in Ireland at this stage .
    2 . Gardaí in Kerry are struggling to contain a feud involving traveller family’s in a housing estate in Killarney no less and are fearful it will spill onto the streets of Killarney affecting the tourist trade .
    3 The wife or sister of one of the traveller gang from Dublin caught in Tipperary last year getting her and another 3 relations compensation claim thrown out of court for been staged etc
    I’m sure if one looked at any provincial paper there’s plenty other examples of their carry on

    If they could give some sort of assurance no one innocent would be targeted or injured, I'm willing to embrace this aspect of their culture and leave them at it.

    Organise a field in Fossa, get our army lads to set up a triage tent to practise their medic skills on the maimed.

    It's what they want , and it's part of their culture. To deny them is surely wrong?
    Anyone that looks like they might not make it, the army could put them out of our their misery with a good shot of morphine.
    Win win for everyone.

    Is there nothing or nobody at all worth robbing in Ireland ? Does that mean everything is gone ?

    No other group rocks up to a town with a convoy of caravans and parks them wherever they feel like as if they own the place.

    Have you any idea how much good morphine costs? Do you realise there are real people suffering who need it with real health issues?

    On the other hand a 7.62 round costs about a euro...... fast and effective. 5 yards of rope is much cheaper but more time consuming

    See on the front page of this weeks Leinster Express a traveller woman in Newbridge Co Kildare only 32 years of age with no less than 227 convictions got a small jail sentence with regard to theft and driving at a shop owner... ffs
    When you consider as a rule of thumb you commit a hundred crimes for every time you get caught ...
    What percentage of crime are travellers responsible for in Ireland ???

    Once again if we ended this nonsense of free legal aid, and you had to pay your won court costs out of social welfare ..... you would see the crime rate drop faster than the cost of Telecom eireann shares

    I think 100 crimes for every 1 you get caught is an extreme exaggeration.

    Apparently it’s not ... mightn’t be 100 burgularies but shoplifting , breaking into cars , driving with no insurance etc ...in rural Ireland where there are very few guards it could even be higher ....
