You need to provide the guard with a little bit more than your opinion, your opinion is just that yours and meaningful only to you. So now you think he will be in court to answer your compliant, lol. Sure you claim he should be jail for incitement to hatred that requires proof. Of which you have none. You're funny.

Once again, I think you don't know what you are talking about.
All I need to do is make a complaint and provide the context. The Gardai take it from there.
We complained, quoting this section of the act.

3.—(1) If an item involving threatening, abusive or insulting visual images or sounds is broadcast, each of the persons mentioned in subsection (2) is guilty of an offence if he intends thereby to stir up hatred or, having regard to all the circumstances, hatred is likely to be stirred up thereby.

It will be a matter of opinion (of the Gardai and subsequently a judge) if he is charged or convicted of an offence.
As I said, it probably won't get far but it is important that it be registered as a complaint.

What part, of what he said, is stirring hatred ? Have there been attacks on travellers ?

I wonder if threats have been made against Casey or his family ?

The part where he generalised about all travellers.

How is that stirring hatred ? Has he said that we must attack travellers ?

Loose horses have brought a town the size of Galway 'to it's knees'? Are we sensationalising just a tweeny tiny bit here?

Travellers who break the law should be treated exactly the same as anybody else who breaks it.

The same people who pay for law and order and cctv in every other part of the country should pay for it.

Again I ask, whose fault is it that the law in the country is being ignored?

I fully agree with you there
and now you can see where the majority of us come from
that everyone is entitled to a home,
but nobody is entitled to a stable or land, unless they pay for it out of their own pockets.
It is very hard to see people sleeping on benches or in places like hotels for long time just because they don't have a home
A home is essential, a stable is not

But it's incitement to hatred in his opinion, so that's all that counts, even if its not by definition.

Royal Legend · 20-10-2018 05:11PM

He actually said traveler's are Irish and no different to us, how is that racial hatred, he said that they were not of a different ethnicity so why were they been treated as such, he is not saying they are lesser than us, but they are no different.

And as for telling young travellers to start calling out their own community, cop on and do it yourself.

Erm, when we do that we're called racist.

Who is this WE that you talk about? Should it not read “I complained”?

And any differences in their wellbeing, lifestyle etc are by their own choice. No one is forcing them to live this way.

I think anyone should have the right to challenge anything. The matter was never put to the people so it's fair enough to have a say.

No, if you were actually reading the thread you will see I and others...technically known as a 'group' made the complaint.

I've said it before, nobody is logging on to this thread to watch you whinge and throw a tantrum because you didn't get the answer you wanted. If you've missed an answer it's tough sh*t.

You have an awful style of posting and engaging with others. Simply dreadful.

He's on another thread claiming the mods or wannabe mods are haters and racists.

I’d really appreciate if you could link me to this group you’ve been talking about. Even what day and rough time would do. I browse boards on my phone and it’s a balls. I had noticed your posts about why you thought it was incitement to hatred but they read as a personal view to you not that you were part of a group.

Well, the article that I read interviewed them and they were no use to them because they wanted to keep their horses, some of which they could trace back to horses their grandparents used.

They are other people I know. Nothing to do with here.

Ah that makes sense now, cheers.

So you emailed as a collective group then? Your post above said “we made a complaint” not “we’ve made complaints”?

Where are they keeping these horses now ? Are they microchipped & registered ?

How are they funding the expensive upkeep of these horses ?

My grand parents used horses so I want a house with stables - OK with you ?

They need them to race down dual carriageways.

"Don't do it again" , HA !!

Or, when the horses actually suffer an injury, sure just leave it to die.

No idea.
And tbh, the point needs to be made. The issues around travellers are not going to be solved by cherrypicking worst cases to discuss or by telling ever increasing scare anecdotes.
I actually thought his 'trip to Tipp', and not meeting with the families was one of the most cynically exploitative things done in any Presidential campaign I have been witness to.

zeebre12 · 20-10-2018 05:39PM

What pisses me off so much is when your after doing a long days work and you tip into Tesco to get a few bits on the way home. They park their big 181 van right at the door blocking others going in and out. They swan around the place in their pyjamas. Not a care in the world. Such a country to live in. You'd have to ask yourself, what are you at?

I'm sure it was equally uncomfortable for some that in the middle of housing crisis there were people turning down housing because their free house does not come with stables.

Could they not have rented out stables and land

In a printed statement earlier this week, someone represtenting the extended family in Thurles stated "we never asked for the houses"
So I suppose the best thing would be for Tipp. Co.Co to look for alternate tenants.

The funny thing is, if you or one of your children were building a house on your own land or site, the planners in the Co.Co wouldn't let you live in a mobile during the build.
So allowing a group of travellers stay 40 years is an incredible demonstration of either cowardice, or double standards.

The issues will only be solved when travellers are treated the same as everyone else & abide by the same laws. Cherrypicking ? There are hundreds of cases.

If they justify free or subsided housing then surely they can't afford to rent land or have horses ?

Francie?

What is up with you?

You haven’t left here all weekend trying to discredit Casey.

Seriously have you even eaten since Tuesday!!?

Why are you so bothered?
