    I would love to see a study on the number of crimes perpetuated by travellers per capita , and the same for "settled" people.


    I don't think your 5000:1 hypothesis would be supported, or even close to representative, frankly.

    Again have you heard of tongue in cheek?;-)

    Must be sarcastic
    Poe's law perhaps

    Thanks for picking up on my sarcasm, you are about the only one.

    Excellent, just in time for hourly traveller bashing thread.

    For a shower that represents less than 0.6% of the population, it says something that there seems to be an hourly bashing thread.

    If threads were untrue, they'd be deleted, but they are not. Thus the "hourly" bashing threads show the phenomenal level of criminality by this group of criminally minded people.

    This ethnic minority group doesn’t place the same value on education as “country people,” or “gougers.” Travellers don’t get official high paying jobs because of a lack of education. Travellers don’t want to live within the constraints of society. They don’t want to pay taxes. They will gladly take social welfare and children’s allowance, while working. So basically they want to have their cake and eat it too. They have medical cards, so they don’t pay for g.p. visits. “Gougers” or “country people” are afraid of them, so we leave them live this half in, half out life that they choose. We leave them claim medical cards, social welfare and childrens’ allowance, while they work. The guards won’t go near them unless they are unleashing total hell. The revenue commissioners won’t go next or near them. If they get turned away from a pub they can sue that pub. The publican will risk having to pay them ten grand because it’s cheaper than a strong likelihood of having his pub trashed. So basically travellers can have all the benefits of a western society, without contributing towards it, while claiming they are alienated by it. Rant over.

    Rathkeale is a lovely spot, so nice in fact. That I know of a cycle club who advise their members to stay away from cycling on certain areas around there. Due to being robbed...Maybe it's just a coincidence

    you get mugged whilst cycling?? thats a first

    For every 5000 law abiding travellers, there’s one bad apple.

    80% of Traveller males over 18 have a criminal record. The other 20% just havent been caught yet.
    15% of the prison population are travellers, it used to be 30% before the 2000's.
    Travellers compromise 1% of the Irish population. Before we had a massive influx of migration and criminalised bad debtors.

    Your maths are interesting considering those facts.

    Yet PC **** claim with a straight face that they are oppressed.

    Sums it up really. The Casey vote should alert the powers that be that we, the taxpayers are sick of putting up with this kind of rubbish.

    If Leo & Co went after this group with no mercy, he would be leading this country into his Nineties!

    Visit the Equality Authority website and you can see just how many tr******rs have received compensation for being denied entrance to public houses.

    It's great to see the vintage car market take off in rural Limerick. Next stop, monocle wearing, partaking in the hunt, a rise in demand for RP elocution classes & Fine Gael membership.

    Well the RP classes might improve things. God knows the local accent is horrific.

    You seem disproportionately upset by that little comment. Touched a nerve?

    For your own good, you really need to get over this whole upset you repeatedly have about people not accepting your nauseating attempts to justify British rule here.

    Except for the police here have flat caps and you'd be using Euros, you'd hardly notice the difference really

    All speaking the Queens English and those house designs

    And topic of the moment - mad for teh Limey cars people do be -which is grand - not many cars were ever made here as we only had stones and no potatoes

    Ah pure gold! The site that just keeps giving.
    Please dont ever change.

    Who else would hijack a thread about travellers scamming old people of vintage cars, in Rathkeale, with the 800 years of Fine Gael facilitated oppression sthick

    It's ironic that there was no mention of travellers in the title, op or link in the op, yet your first thought was that travellers are to blame, just by knowing the name of where it occurred. That's discrimination boss :pac:

    Can we stop calling ourselves settled people? Travellers are simply Irish people who broke off about 400 years ago and are only ethnically different because they have been marrying cousins within a group of 30,000. If they want to consider themselves different fine but then we should be known as the Native group. Lets call ourselves Native Irish and they can be Traveller Irish. I'm sick of this "settled" crap. We're the native population, not some randomers who just came here and took the land from Travellers.

    No not really.

    Is it some bizarre assumption of yours that 'proper' Irish people shouldn't have any truck with vintage car ownership? I'd really like to know what planet you live on. You know there's people who are into things other than listening to cassette tapes of the Wolfe Tones, you really should get over that.
