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.

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.

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.

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
