They, being the aforementioned Travellers. When challenged on it he even says 'well, I'm just saying, the general conception...' before trailing off on some thing about Travellers moving into an area in caravans. Does he account for Travellers who have since settled, but still identify or have grown up as Travellers? Or those who live in permanent structures on site? Seems to me to be trying to paint a picture of a generalised, scaremongery idea of a Traveller.

I was a big supporter of Leo becoming Taoiseach but he's turned out to be the most disengenuous snake of the lot and probably my least favourite Taoiseach in my lifetime. If anybody other than the creepy little incumbent finishes ahead of Casey I'll be amazed.

The suspects are considered members of a notorious Traveller burglary gang based in the Fettercairn area of Tallaght, Dublin........ The Tallaght gang are suspected of mainly operating "during daylight hours" in afternoons and evenings when homeowners are at work. They are suspected of carrying out dozens of break-ins in recent months across the country.
Also included in the 'Filthy 50' list are a number of different sets of brothers, most of whom are part of the Traveller community.

He's guaranteed to get 90%+ of the first vote at this stage. I don't know why the other candidates are even bothering.

The Irish media and spineless Irish politicians wants us to disregard the reality. Voting for Peter Casey gives us an opportunity to express our 'displeasure' with their distortion of the reality, which many of us have to endure in our communities.
Gardaí in Greystones, Co Wicklow, arrested a 14-year-old boy as he came out the window of a house wearing socks on his hands. Officers are confident of arresting his older teenage brother, who is also a juvenile, and are also investigating the role of the boys' young mother, who is suspected of acting as the getaway driver and facilitator of the crimes.

DavidLyons_ wrote: » I'm getting the nice warm fuzzy feeling that certain elements of society are getting worried that Casey is going to perform really well on Friday. How will they cope when the cold realisation dawns that their views are the ones that are out of step? VOTE PETER CASEY NO. 1.

dav3 wrote: » For someone showing such bravado, starting off with 'well if he at least gets 20%' is a bit lame. Surely he's going to get 100% with every man, astroturfer, woman, child, astroturfer, cat, dog and astroturfer behind him. You need to show a bit more optimism.
