    Did Niall B actually call out Cashers? Did anyone let him speak properly?

    Its not just the entitlement culture with the travellers. The worst part is the marauding travelling gangs roaming the country looking for elderly defenceless people to torture. Anyone convicted of this should be locked up for minimum of twenty years.
    There was another spate of elderly people beaten up in a gated complex in North Dublin, going from previous history this has the hallmarks of traveller cowardly thugs. It would make your blood boil.
    Why would travellers work nine to five when they can terrorise an elderly person to hand over money instead.

    That is what I really hate about them, how they target the weak and vulnerable.

    This is the norm with them their parents breed it into them to do that, to spot the vulnerable and pounce. I once seen a traveller woman encourage her two children to target a down syndrome sufferer.

    Luckily when she seen me looking and paying attention she said out really loud "I'm only messin we wouldn't do that", but any of us with an understanding of the traveller moral compass know full well she wasn't "only messin".

    If I was to target an elderly person or anyone vulnerable my parents would disown me, these peoples parents encourage it.

    What I truly hate is how they're making those of us who identify as liberal and left-wing feel like dyed in the wool Tory Capitalists for not thinking those who live the this way should be entitled to the trappings of a lifestyle most of us can only dream of.

    If everyone just wanted to do good the world would be a better place.

    Ahhh, that’s nice.

    No you’re not.

    Do gooders never see any wrong in people like travellers robbing and beating up old people.

    They say ah sure it’s their upbringing.

    Do gooders stick up for junkies robbing people because it’s their upbringing.

    They always have an excuse and never see things from the victims point of view.

    So you are wrong with your do gooder everyone in the world is a lovely person point of view.

    I have stated already that I hate travellers and one thing I hate about them is the fact they target the vulnerable, but I'm not going to ignore the fact they target the vulnerable because their parents tell them its okay to do so.

    A bad upbringing is definitely going to leave a person damaged, thats why we tend to take child abuse so serious in society.

    Yeah whatever I have no sympathy for anyone who commits these crimes.

    I don’t give a **** about their upbringing.

    And rightly so, why should you care about someone elses upbringing you have your own problems.

    Someone else's bad upbringing is not your fault and you should not have to suffer because of it.

    I wouldn't dare ask you to give a ****, I had a difficult upbringing but I would never target a vulnerable person like this because my parents thought me targeting the vulnerable and elderly is wrong. As I said my family would disown me if I was to do such a thing.

    I copied this quote from the tusla website regarding school attendance

    “Can I be taken to court if my child doesn’t attend school?

    If you are a parent or guardian of a child aged between 6 and 16 you have a central role to play in ensuring that your child does not miss out on his or her education. Under Irish law you must ensure that your child attends school or otherwise receives an education.

    We will help parents in whatever way we can to ensure your child gets an education. However, parents who refuse to co-operate with the EWO regarding their child’s school attendance (or fail to register with the Educational Welfare Services of the Child and Family Agency if they are being home educated or in receipt of an education in a ‘non-recognised school) can be taken to court and fined or imprisoned. Legal action of this kind only takes place in exceptional circumstances and forms a very small part of the Board’s work.”

    I’d love to know what the exceptional circumstances are. If Margaret Cash did not attend secondary school, what did child services do about this? Obviously nothing was done about it or Ms Cash would have said she attended school.

    I think this absenteeism needs to be stamped out. I would be more than happy if funds were made available to also give them after school tutoring as their parents would not be in a position to help with homework. The cycle needs to be broken and so far nothing is done about it. As the court case below shows

    That's so sweet.

    I don't mind do gooders but I hate bring ripped off by welfare croungers

    I missed the tonight show, gonna watch it today, I’m so glad he had poor leftie Lynn Boylan upset, her and her boyfriend Paul Murphy represent the left sponging do gooder bleeding heart brigade like no one else.

    Two heads that instantly make you feel something once you see them.

    I briefly watched it because the pontification from Ivan Yates about Margaret Cash gets too much. Ivan is so far wrong on this issue, it is mindboggling. (People should boycott Newstalk if they agree).

    The one item that stuck in my mind from last night was when Lynn Boylan was asked how would Sinn Fein solve the housing crisis if they were voted into power. After tripping over herself initially, she then said that Sinn Fein would spend €2 Billion per year on it. But when one of the hosts told her that this is what Fine Gael are currently spending, Lynn Boylan said the €2 Billion per year would be for social housing! So the rest of society in need of affordably-built homes is totally flucked if Sinn Fein gets into power.

    I also had to laugh when she said that the "whole" country was shocked when they saw the pictures of the family in the Garda station. We were shocked alright ................ shocked that this woman would use her children in this cynical ploy to get a free house in Tallaght.
    Sinn Fein has really become the anti-worker, anti-nationalist party.

    You won't regret it, the man is legend! In this current climate of PC bull****, he is not afraid to speak his mind, and a lot of the time it is just common sense. He deserves a bigger platform imo but, sadly, won't be getting it given his outspoken views and the nature of the media these days.

    And there you have the reason why a third generation Shinner like myself is now voting FG at the next election.

    I'm not happy with that, I've been called a "f**king Tory bitch" but what else can be done ?

    Sadly no one in the corridors of power will ever listen to Boylan.

    Not to mention that 4fm only broadcast in certain counties limiting the radio broadcasts.

    He gave the lady camped out on the beach in Youghal a good going over, she clearly thought she'd get the same sympathy as other stations, how wrong she was.

    I believe Eoin O'Broin is her partner.

    Fine Gael do this too btw. If you could see the amount of letters sent to Thurles Town Council, Nenagh Town Council, Templemore etc through the years by Noel Coonan and Tom Hayes in Tipperary. "Shes a young single mother with 6 children blah blah type. Bear in mind the system that is abused by the likes of Cash and co is there in part because of Fine Gael, although Fianna Fail are more to blame for it.

    In opposition Fine Gael advocated on behalf of these people too. Criticising every increase in child benefit and lone parent up until 2008 as not enough. Attacking cuts by FF on lone parent payments in 2009 etc.

  • Site Banned Posts: 210 ✭✭Sardine


    I live in a council estate where people wear pyjamas etc. during the day. They put up signs about hunger strikers on lampposts etc. I bought my house but many of my neighbours don’t work. Between their love for all things IRA and promise of free housing these are the demographic that will vote for Sinn Fein. Is there any chance of them getting enough votes to even share power?

    Yeah, my family and outlaws on herself's side came from the north. Her father was shot at by the british up north and we'd both remember (with our respective childhoods) taking trips up north and seeing the british soldiers everywhere and the disgusting treatment meted out to catholics and southerners.


    Yet even my partner now coming from a lifetime and generational situation where the whole family voted SF regardless, will no longer vote SF due to their bleeding heart bearded lefty nonsense.


    I was an FF voter since the days of Haughey but now have no one to vote for. (Due to FF stance on the 8th). But there's no party that is for the working public.
    I was watching reeling in the years 1980 on RTE last night and there were protests from 600,000 PAYE workers at the taxation rates. Can we not do that!!!

    At the rate the country is going, Workers -V- Welfare, in another generation there might not even be 600,000 workers such is the incentive to claim dole and other handouts.

    It is clear to all bar the government that social welfare is not a safety net, rather a lifestyle choice that is limitless for those who never lifted a finger.

    Niall Boylan was on with Matt and Ivan on The Tonight Show on TV3/V1


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,593 ✭✭✭Wheeliebin30


    Watched some of it.

    Of course he was shouted down by McWilliams and Boylan.

    Matt cooper is another one who is away with the fairies.

    Liked the comment at the end people tweeting in Niall for president, it made Boylan squirm!!!!!!!

    There is a family legend that the grandfather met Arthur Griffith before the founding of Sinn Fein, may be true - may be bollocks!

    But the family hail from the Six Counties, the granddad was in America for 20 years coming back in the early 20s (my dad believes he came back for the Civil War!!) and told my dad and aunties some horrific tales of abuses.

    We'd be a very Republican family for sure but I feel as though the party has turned its back on those who work hard, preferring those who choose not to.

    I'm sure Granddad approves, I know my dad does.
