    But you seem to be implying that all travellers are on social welfare.
    Do you really believe that to be true?

    I saw a thing on the internet where John Connors (actor) wanted to get a security guard job. He was getting nowhere so he put on a Dublin (non-traveller accent) he was going to be given the job and his potential employer told him not to let any travellers in.



    Does that sound like a fella who wanted to be on the dole?
    I know Connors can talk some sh*te at times, but he seemed extremely sincere about this story and looked visibly hurt when he told the story.

    Connors is a professional grievance monger.

    Nice story, I’d say it’s utter bollocks unfortunately. A traveller accent for the most part sounds like any other accent where they were reared, mostly midlands.

    Cash got asked why she didn’t work and she cited traveller discrimination as the reason, for some reason nobody asked her how many jobs she applied for, I’d be willing to bet it was a grand total of zero. If she was turned down it is most likely because she is a thick pig ignorant aggressive c*nt and is illiterate by her own choosing of dropping out of school before receiving a basic level of education, just like the rest of them. It’s not because they are discriminated against, it’s because they are useless by their own choice because of their so called culture.

    Telling lies is like breathing to travellers so I don't believe a word of Connors story.

    That's not what I'm saying at all.

    What I'm saying is that their culture means that it's always going to be very hard for them to make ends meet without resorting to handouts from the state. Or worse.

    If a settled person spent their days roving the countryside, having 6 and 7 kids and left school before their junior cert I'd be saying that they're after dressing a very, very hard bed for themselves. It's no different.

    She was asked a very fair question about how she was planning on managing financially with 6 kids in today's environment when most other people would struggle with 3. That became one of these questions people weren't allowed to ask her. It was very fair.

    I happen to like John. I don't know why so many people have a beef with him. He was one of the only celebrities (I use that term lightly) that stayed off the baby-death wagon during the referendum.

    Plus I'll bet his he's not running to the dole office begging for money from the taxpayer every week either.

    On a final note gormdubhgorm, it's easy for an employer to 'discriminate' against someone without a junior cert.

    exactly, its not discrimination. it's being unqualified and fairly useless. if I had two settled people apply for a job in a newsagent say, and one had a junior cert and the other didn't, I would hire the one with the junior cert.

    now if I had a traveller without a junior cert and a settled person without a junior cert, I would 100% hire the settled person as you could be guaranteed if you hired the traveller he would have the entire contents of the till in his pockets and most likely the cable and plug that its plugged into the wall with too before you could say "get the f*ck out of my shop you thieving gypsy bast*rd"...now that's discrimination.

    These lads are from a traveller background. I'd have no problem hiring them. This is their way out. Proper trades. They are hard grafters.

    I would imagine the change is minuscule

    Majority of travellers will still marry travellers

    Look at the attitude in the AMA

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057383006&page=2

    “Out of interest, why do you have no interest in marrying outside of the travelling community?”

    “Because a settled man could leave you at anytime and no other man in the traveller community would look at you.”

    Yet apparently that fact that you can meet people outside the community busts the 'myth'


    About having kids



    "I want six myself but if I have more I would be happy. My parents only had 4 kids and my partner has nine siblings."


    Only had 4 .... "ONLY" .:rolleyes:

    Serious question....


    How do I become a traveller? I Read that the irish ones have no different genes or bloodline to any romany tinklers etc

    so how did these people gain their status?

    I wouldnt mind having some of their added rights and protection that oridnary citizens dont get.

    If I turn up an pauvee and ask to be one of them, would/could they refuse me?

    I have never lived in a caravan but neither have 99.9% of them now, infact they all have their own houses provided free by the state.

    Only concern is that I am working and dont have a criminal record, I worry I maybe rejected on this

    You could just say you identify as a traveler and every liberal dimwit will bend over backwards to accommodate your every whim in exchange for facebook likes

    well I have no issues with travellers. I have issues with the way the majority of them choose to live.

    So I would not hate all of them, just the ones that this thread highlights which would seem to be the majority. 84% is quite a common percentage when finding facts about their lifestyle choices...

    Wonder was she sorting out her husband and his mates or most likely brothers with shirts from Penny's also as it seems to be all the fellas actually wear.

    They look hilarious in their high viz and shirts and filth all over them from doing the oaps and their drives etc.
