If any other people do such crimes, then discussion of the first-mentioned perpetrators is off limits somehow? I don't think so. Moreover, when a group is granted a special status in a supposed republic, it behoves them to understand that their behaviour as a group will be highlighted on account of that and discussed by society at large.

They also have a child every year, no point in saying no to drunken unemployed, unemployable husband, he will beat you up and rape you anyway. Its the culture. This is why travellers education is so poor. If you educate young girls you give them a choice, traveller men dont want to change and they want women they can dominate, eg bash into submission and wear down with childbirth, its the culture, doncha know.

37% of women accessing refuge identified themselves as Travellers,
They also have a child every year

How many crimes go unsolved? If Travellers were removed from the stats, crimes against property, particularly in rural areas would go down appreciably. It is complete denial in the face of reason to suggest otherwise. *and far higher rates of prison time, unemployment, spousal abuse with it.

Has anyone noticed that there is a very large community of Itinerants living in a field at Keatings Park in Rathcoole. There are about 30 or 40 caravans hitched,bonfires scattered around the field, vans and old burnt out cars,rubbish scattered around the site.They seem to have arrived only a few weeks ago,for residents living in and around rathcoole and the surrounding areas,be vigilant. Anyone else notice this?
