Now there are a few pharma companies just down the road from it and it looks terrible in terms of business visitors. That whole road is pretty bad.

It's not racism when it's all true what's been said The place is a disgrace up there Burned out Peugeot 206 in a field across from the halting site Moved to the fence by the side of the field and two little scrotes beating the shíte out of it with a hammer Horses literally anywhere - on the road, in fields they don't own New settlement which I'm sure isn't an officially sanctioned one just up from the school on the opposite side of the road I feel sorry for anyone who has to live along side this
Johnboy1951 wrote: » Oh my! You really are showing yourself up. Here is a little help in your education grandpa The traditional definition of race and ethnicity is related to biological and sociological factors respectively. Race refers to a person's physical characteristics, such as bone structure and skin, hair, or eye colour. Ethnicity, however, refers to cultural factors, including nationality, regional culture, ancestry, and language. I can only hope you can read and understand that ...... although it might be a forlorn hope.

The travellers should have been put out of site away from decent people. Somewhere like up by the Roanmore gaa pitch up in gracedieu.

(and property prices are so low because of the neighbours that its not a bad place to get yourself started) I myself am not on that road, but close to it and have travelled it several times a day since it was built. Never had any direct trouble with the travellers... however : Virtually every square inch of gating and fencing around every field on that stretch taken apart, whether they are permitted to be there or not... held up with string, blocked up with cars etc.. to allow horses in. Several dozen times I have had to slam on the brakes because an untethered horse stepped into the road in front of me. On 3 separate occasions, I have driven past a burning car at the entrance of the halting site. Memorable because you feel you are getting sunburned despite being 10 metres away from it and in a car going past. The volume of horse poop is staggering. You are often held up by Sulky's... sometimes going side by side taking both sides of the road. Debris e.g. broken kids toys, bikes etc.. can be seen 1km in either direction from time to time. It does rather annoy me when they stop two of their vehicles coming opposite directions outside the site and have a chat through the windows blocking traffic both ways for 3 minutes... this has happened a number of times, most recently last week. Chased by their dogs whilst they watch whilst on a bike (dogs donn't bother me.. might bother others, kids etc... will likely cause an accident if it hasn't already). Do quite a bit of bicycle mileage >10,000km per year... have had more punctures due to debris on that road (broken glass, nails, metal etc..) around the entrance of the site than I have gotten in all of the roads of Co. Waterford, Kilkenny, Wexford etc.. combined. No sense of civic pride.. halting site itself is slowly falling apart... they don't look after it at all.. it was fine for the first couple of years and now it is slowly turning into what I imagine the titanic would look like if they raised it from the Seabed. Like I said at the start.. been there many times, jogging, on a bike in Spandex, driving etc.. never any abuse directed towards me, so definitely not as bad in my opinion as they are made out to be. However, whatever semantics you use around race, ethnicity etc.. irrelevant...it doesn't really matter to me... because objectively based on what I see every day you won't convince me that they have any respect for other peoples property, the laws of the land, road users, pedestrians, general public safety and indeed their own property (that's the one that is the most alien to me). Not that I haven't seen the exact same thing in settled people from time to time (although rarely as consistently)
