    Hmmm....yeah and I guess it's possible that that kid in Wicklow that was caught red handed coming out of someone else's house was in there to fold the laundry and accidentally left the socks on his hands cause he had to rush out to go do his next good deed.

    :mad:

    In the meantime I'll go with this

    Oh ffs are you really that gullible or just a Pavee Point shill ???

    I'm not that gullible. I just think lots of these stories are made up. I prefer to see actual proof.
    I questioned the guy who said she was looking to spend €260 on a pair of runners, and he showed me the facebook post. If you're going to make a claim be prepared to back it up.

    I saved hard to get my child that dress. I tried to make people aware of what’s going on in this country

    I bet people on here have never spent the day fleecing retailers, they know nothing of the hardship involved.

    So now that you've seen proof have you anything to say?

    Any other reason you can think of why those pictures are clearly taken in a bus, and the tags are clearly still on the clothes?

    People don't need to make stories like these up, they just need to look around.

    I had a neighbour who approached me one day after living up the road for about 7 months and she said to me "I always thought you were a Garda", she proceeds to open a bag and pull out items of clothes and ask me if I have any interest in the jackets she has as she thought they were 'my style'.
    I wasn't interested, so she asked me what brands I liked and said she would see if she could get them.
    I've no doubt I could have given her a shopping list and she would have arrived back the next day with everything on it :)
    A girl i used to work with in the city centre used to have people who could rob on demand. If she saw a dress she liked, she would tell them what shop and what size/colour and she would pay half of what was on the label

    See how the image gives much more insight.
    The clothes are for sale in Birr but public transport like this is non existant in Birr.

    Shows the effort made to travel distance to aquire the goods and spending the journey home to list said goods shows efficent use of time.
    A true entrepreneur

    Their free travel pass is just not bothering to pay.

    If you're shown and told every day that it is acceptable behavior to rob from others, then perhaps you do need to be able to read to find an alternative opinion
    You don't need to be shown and told that and using illiteracy as an excuse to rob is just as bad saying he's a good man helping the community he shouldn't be punished for molesting and raping his children.
    When growing up we used to have travelers stop in the lay by over from us and when they were about everyone went into lock down because if it wasn't nailed down it was stolen. If it wasn't stolen they would try to intimate you into selling or giving it to them.
    Their family that lived in town cut another family member up with a slash hook, a motorcycle cop was buried up his neck in a gravel pit, f*ck sake the army was drafted in to try and keep the peace. We had one in school and she sh*t in another girls school bag because she didn't like her. She spent most of her time out of school due to bad behavior.
    In another town my 10 year nephew was bullied and terrorized by travelers.
    Where I live they burnt a family out of their house and the children were badly burnt, that was in the news. I don't know how many time animal welfare has been called to a collapsed sulky pony on the road or how many dogs have been stolen from owners while the owner was walking them.
    I cannot say myself or my family have ever had a nice experience with travelers but we cannot say that or we get labeled as racist.

    To me this is the most disturbing thing out of all of that.

    For a primary age school child to do something like this.....what must their home life be like? What example are they getting?

    Aaaaand you've just made it even more disturbing...

    But calling them 'feral' is still out of bounds apparently.

    (just to clarify, I'm not calling all traveler children feral, but that particular child is feral)

    this is not true. nobody gets labeled as racist for making that statement. they may get labeled as racist if they tar all travelers with the same brush as the ones they have had bad experiences with.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.
