    I just looked up Pavee Point on Wikipedia and it p!sses me off. They say
    Travellers have suffered a long history of ethnic discrimination. Over time, the subsequent social prejudice and disparity between settled and Traveller educations has economically handicapped the community. Those early disadvantages have since manifested themselves into an elevated dependence on social welfare, a high risk of poverty, and a low life-expectancy for Travellers

    Yet further down they say
    According to the 2002 Census, 54.8% of Traveller children don't pursue an education beyond primary school, and their literacy levels are well below those of settled children, across the board. To help change this, Pavee Point established The Parents and Traveller Education project in August 2004. The goals of the project are: to get Traveller parents more involved in their children's school by educating them about the system itself; and to work with the schools to make them more accepting of Traveller parents. As of 2005, Pavee Point has produced an educational DVD to help familiarise parents with the school system, facilitated workshops for parents about getting involved in school, and provided one-on-one support and advice
    It's Travellers that don't put a value on education. Even Pavee Point recognise this. Settled people would only be delighted if they stayed in secondary school and progressed onto university. It's not the settled community holding travellers back, it's travellers themselves. The DPP can continue to throw money at travellers but until someone steps in and makes sure those kids stay in education, the cycle is doomed to repeat itself.

And the likes of Joe Duffy, Ryan Tubridy, Marian Finucane, Miriam O'Callaghan (coincidence that they work in RTE?), Leo Varadkar, Simon Coveney, Catherine Zappone will always portray the poor downtrodden Travellers as victims ......... and the rest of us law-abiding, tax paying contributors of society as pure monsters.

    No wonder there are hundreds of thousands of people in this country begging for a political change .......... but not from the current crop of under-performing, backbone-missing, tax-wasting liars who claim to represent us.
    It's easy to be liberal and tolerant when it's just on paper and NIMBY. Those people would soon change their tune if travellers started camping outside where they live.

    The cultural left which covers 99% of those in media and showbiz, despise the middle class because most of them are their whole lives rebelling against their own bourgeois upbringing, they will row in behind anyone who p1sses off the middle class tax payer, that includes travellers

    Media types are weirdo's and oddballs with a public profile

    I love the way they spend the whole article pussy footing around the fact that it's travellers causing the problems :rolleyes:
    The plan was implemented in response to concerns by the local community about large increases in the community population traditionally occurring in the Rathkeale over the Christmas and New Year.

    What got me about that article ,apart from the waste of garda manpower, and the installation of temporary speed ramps ;), was the HSE set up a temporary triage centre for them.dafuk is that about.

    What was the point in giving them special ethnic status if the media isn't going to use it? :pac:

    I would love to catch her coming in my house......

    The only and last time she would ever be in the news.

    That scum bag husband also needs sorting.

    Need to call Travellers for their ethnic status now.

    I cannot understand why they are not called Travellers when that is what they wanted.

    Agreed.
    No matter what way you hack it the continual attaching of one person's name to all the traveller issues has been done to death.

    Sad to see her son telling her that they love her and need her on Facebook. Are they not together?

    They are afaik

    Some of the comments are only fueling her sense of entitlement

    "it's not your fault the system has failed you ... keep doing what your doing and keep fighting"

    "external factors are the cause of this situation, nothing to do with your parenting"

    "You are doing a wonderful job as a mother to your beautiful children. The fact that our b*****d government has let us down is not your fault or any of us"

    Margaret you are doing wonderful work on behalf of your family and other women in the country. people like you could bring down this corrupt government for the violence they inflicted on the people through poverty"

    Funny there was one comment

    "all i can suggest is keeping checking daft. we had to move away from our home town and we were dreading it, but it worked out well we have made friends and got on"

    As if Margaret will give up her fight for her home forever in Tallaght specifically

    Ha true that

    No wonder she thinks the gubberment is robbing her when that's what she keeps getting told

    The systems failed her (to the tune of at least €50k per year), external factors are the cause of this situation (could have sworn having more and more kids is an internal factor and a personal choice)

    Does Margaret Cash have an accomplice called Tango...?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 13,856 ✭✭✭✭kowloon


    There should be an arm of the state going around like dog wardens, catching them and neutering/spaying them, let them recuperate a few days, and release.

    Better outcomes for all


    Only joking!
    Or am i...

    Sorry, this is a 'no kill' shelter.

    A traveller calling someone else corrupt? Have they no mirrors?
