    About Nama and the stardust property ownership?

    Or being an Irish tax payer?

    It's hard to believe Renua are still going, why is their leader never on Tv/radio? That Irexit guy Hermann Kelly is on regularly. And the Renua guy is at least elected councillor

    He was on tv Sunday night.

    We can thank Peter Casey and the Peter Casey voters for helping to highlight this issue

    No actually, I was thinking about championing human rights but at the same time championing a man who put 40,000 people up against a firing squad.

    "gangs with lurcher dogs" is the new "roving gangs" - it means travellers, but they are afraid of pavee point.

    When you hear of a burglary on a farm or attack on farmers 99% chance it's travellers.

    Any burglary at all in rural Ireland high % chance it's travellers. It's time Pavee Point are confronted on this.

    what other words do they use to avoid saying the obvious and offending criminals?

    Not what I am objecting to. It is this notion that 'rural crime is ignored'
    It isn't, Prime Time feature it regularly enough.

    I'd say Margaret Cash has got 20 times the amount of publicity that rural crime has received this year.

    Prisoners should be made listen to Migeldys poetry on a loop.
    Recidivism rates would drop dramatically methinks.

    Those people who emailed Peter to not drop out/ lend your support should now email him again offering to continue that support if he leads a party.

    Tomorrow night on the Brendan O' Connor Show " Is a vote for Casey an anti-Traveller vote?"
    Should be good.

    If i remember correctly the Dail was full that day and every single member got to their feet like a herd of sheep and gave a round of applause when Enda announced the recognition of criminality, tax avoidance, illegal dumping, illegal burning, bullying of elderly people and widespread, wilfull ignoring of the rules of law and decency as deserving of "ethnic minority" status.

    When did we become so weak as to be afraid to speak the truth. The silent majorities views has just been represented by an election candidate who will now be savaged by the vocal minority.

    He is an election candidate that hasn't a chance of being elected. He's someone who i don't think would make a good president. However, it refreshing to hear somebody looking for votes speak his mind and not what his PR guru has programmed

    I remember those useful fools of TDs applauding them selves in An Dáil as if they had performed some marvellous feat.

    I know SF and Labour had been banging this drum for some time. I thought FG and FF would have more sense. No matter what Pavee Point claim, too many travellers are criminals

    If there is no Casey voter than it will be pointless. It has the worst guests of any show, 2 D4 permanently outraged women on everyweek. These people dont live in the real world, they know f all about travellers or rural crime

    Not the point. Please stop the mythmaking around the subject? Might bring a bit more credibility/

    Agree. The panel will be stacked. Probably someone like Collins and a few Dub Libs.

    Making the statement that Peter Casey and his supporters prompted a 'novel' report on Prime Time is factually wrong and therefore not credible. They do reports on the subject all the time.

    With respect, my 'party' - the overwhelming majority of people who voted - won the election. Just thought I would point that out.

    The question should be "Is a vote for Casey a vote for those working and contributing together with a vote for equality and law and order"

    Fat chance.
