People been hurted is not nice but the €40'000 he has received in compo helped a bit boss but still don't be knocking the poor man fell six foot off a ladder and was hurted again Sure another poor man fell over in a halting site because the ground was a little cracked and he was hurted I am sure the compo helped somewhat but people like you making fun of people getting hurted still makes them feel bad. Our legal system is doing it's best for all these people that have been and will be hurted but most of these people will never work again

In fact the majority I ever came into contact with were sound. However, my fellow own 'non-travellers' / settled people on the other hand..... that is a different story. I was pick pocketed by settled people, my house was robbed by settled people. So obviously from that I should conclude that all settled people are bad, going by the above posters logic?

The constant moaning about discrimination is a carefully planned strategy to ensure that the life of zero responsibility continues with us picking up the bill. What a country.

Since they are now regarded as an ethnic minority group (despite the protest in Dublin going ahead where they're looking to be classed as one anyway) if we have say one of these 'ethnic' folk who has 10+ previous convictions for crimes that presumably have been carried out mainly against White Irish settled folk i.e assault, aggravated burglary, theft etc. Surely the point would have to come where it's being investigated as hate crime? Should it not work both ways? Surely with these rights that being regarded as an ethnic minority entails there must be some responsibility going with it?

Our beautiful police force at its best.

It seems social welfare officers like everybody else are afraid of them ...travellers of course are raping the system with massive families for unlimited benefits unlike the UK where 2 kids is maximum you get paid for . Anyone in modest employment is worse off than travellers who never worked a day in their lives ... maybe we should all become travellers ??

A LANDMARK case against a man who admitted creating a Facebook page called “Promote the use of knacker babies as shark bait” has been dismissed by a judge who said there was reasonable doubt about an intent to incite hatred towards members of the Travelling community. Judge James O’Connor noted that while the comments made on Facebook were “obnoxious and revolting” it appeared that the remarks were a once-off and the man responsible had issued an apology. In the first Irish case of its kind, Patrick Kissane, of Knockasartnett, Killarney, Co Kerry, appeared before the Killarney District Court yesterday charged with an offence under the Incitement to Hatred Act 1989 after he created the page on the social media site.

The proportion of criminality among members of the traveller community is much much higher than that of the settled community. It is endemic. It is also far more accepted in the traveller community than it is in the settled community. The settled community doesn't have an issue with acknowledging/condemning criminality by settled people. It is highly critical of it actually. The traveller community glosses over it when seeking special treatment and crys discrimination from those who are critical of serious problems that are widespread in traveller society and spill over to settled society.

It's a thing I'm not a fan of (but I'll admit to being quite pedantic when it comes to use of language) however it's not literal.

It was pretty hateful too - leave the kids out of it. If he had started a discussion about the issues caused by traveller society, using moderate language (like Casey) and then got the incitement to hatred treatment, I'd have a lot more sympathy.

Where it is siezed upon and positive stories are ignored by the media as it does not sell papers/programmes TV3 etc.As I said in an earlier post the travellers are largely still stuck in a cultural mindset of 70 years ago, at the pace of technological change alone it is extremely difficult for them not to be even further left behind.
