Nnnno, irrational and shrieky. e.g. calling people cuntts over and over. That's a pretty sh1t comeback generally speaking - the whole "just because I disagree with you/you disagree with me" thing. Haven't the slightest issue with people disagreeing with me once they do so with a well supported argument and without hurling insults.

I do love the updates from her Facebook as I can't stand going on that platform myself..... Just can't stand Facebook.

Thanks to everyone that's contributed and post up her many rants.

I do hope this thread is a tool to help towards change and people wake up to the 2 fingers we are getting among the robberies and so on.

I'm sick of it.

How the hell would the council be responsible?

The council ain’t responsible....it’s the gubberment’s fault!!!

It should provide multiple detached properties with room for a (few) pony(s) with free cleaners and waste disposal each time they leave each house prior to the next guests

Gotta protect their culture!!

Hardly on the bread-line when you can afford to pay €600 on a couple of communion outfits and sell them for a third of that 7 months later.

For being on social welfare, the amount she spends on overpriced clothes, shoes, fake designer gear, ornaments etc. If she put that towards rent instead she'd surely have €1K-€1.5K a month for her budget, with that + HAP you could get a decent 4 bed in Tallaght with money to spare..

How dare you talk about Margaret like that. She had to beg, borrow and most importantly steal to get those clothes for the cilders.

When Hansen-Ripia saw the mess the tourists left in Auckland "I thought to myself, your parents raised you to leave that? The next thought that went through my head was, How can somebody show that much disrespect?"

She obviously is ignorant to their culture!!! Made me smile a little reading that bit

Sure isn't it the council's job to clear it up?
That's what the travellers taxes are for.

I haven't read the last few pages, so not sure if this has already been mentioned. But today, Dr. Sindy Joyce became the first Traveller to get a PhD. I think this is an amazing achievement and it should be recognised and celebrated and hopefully Dr. Joyce will be an inspiration to Traveller children.

Outstanding achievement. If her thesis highlights both outside discrimination and also the issues internally like removing children from school so young it's a sign of major progress being made.

She's from very close to Rathkeale so if she could work and make a difference in that area it would be great.

Her thesis could have been about anything in the world, it doesn't matter. She knuckled down and did the study and the work that was required to achieve this. Well done her.

It does matter if her thesis is about discrimination against travellers and it doesn’t acknowledge why most people don’t want travellers near them.

She wouldn’t have to look far to see why Irish people are negative and not racist, the New Zealander’s have deported their guests, are the Kiwis racist too.

If her thesis is all about racism against travellers then it’s about as much use as Pavee Point, hope she doesn’t end up working there, that organisation should be closed down.

Congrats to her on putting in the effort for the PhD but I have the same thoughts - from the admittedly brief amount I've read from her out of interest after reading that article this morning, her whole PoV appears to be that travellers are the way they are and continue to act that way only because of continued discrimination from the rest of the population.

She said she looked at policing, and how young Travellers were treated by gardaí in Galway city. “I found high levels of racism and ethnic profiling. It’s very similar to how the black community in America are policed.”

She also examined how gardaí “police or govern public areas”. The young Travellers interviewed claimed they were subjected to “continuous checking, stopping and searching without any particular reason for it.”

She also found there is a “institutionalised stereotype” of Travellers embedded in the settled community, which is mostly negative-based.

At the core of anti-Traveller racism is the assumption that nomadism is not a valid way of life. The State response has been to outlaw it and measures taken have been to “assimilate/absorb” us to stop us from being who we are, the dominant powers viewed as ‘less than’ or ‘inferior’ than the majority population, they viewed us as people that were somehow ‘failed settled people’ or ‘broken’ in that we needed to be ‘fixed’ and ‘aided’ in becoming ‘settled’ which can easily be defined as cultural and ethnic genocide.

No acknowledgement as far as I could see of why most Irish people actually have a general dislike of travellers. Not for hate or dislike of the nomad lifestyle but for the way-above average crime rates, dependence on social welfare, very low employment & education rates, destroying sites / houses built for them etc.

If the travelling community put effort into solving the real issues then they'd find discrimination against them in general would dissipate rapidly. Some of those changes may be against their culture but then their culture just has to change, like it has for the average settled person were life now is much different from life 100 years ago.

Now there's an opportunity for an AMA, a traveller with the skills to respond to questions about the traveller lifestyle. A considered and academic response to questions how the travellers' need to move around could be satisfied without the friction this produces with the settled community.

She has obviously 'broken the mould' in achieving the highest level of qualification, she could not have done it while moving around, being a young bride or having children. She, just like the other 60-odd PhD graduates is to be congratulated on her achievement. This qualification represents a great deal of work and dedication, and presumably support by her immediate family.

Will she now work to encourage other young travellers to follow her example? She really cannot if she does not want travellers to be turned into settled people, they must continue to move, to marry young and have children who will continue to only have the most fleeting contact with education. A clear and reasoned rationalisation and explanation of this situation would be very interesting.

Does she in fact consider that it is necessary to have children attend school, and (if she does) how can this be achieved while travelling?

How can the nomadic lifestyle be made self-supporting, and indeed contribute to society in general - should it be expected to? Or does being nomadic imply a parasitic existence - is it justified in expecting to be 'carried' by another part of society? Does it have any obligations and responsibilities at all?

If it is a case that there should not have to be obligations and responsibilities, does this mean travellers are being patronised and infantilised by the settled community? Is this desirable?

And the question that keeps being asked, but not answered, what aspect of traveller culture is so different and valuable that it is worthy of preservation? The culture has changed considerably from the days when tinkers earned a living doing metal working and tin smithing, and taking on seasonal farm work, none of that has been preserved. What is it that is being preserved, and why should it be?

Yeah , funny. Those children are dead, axxxxle .
The chip pan started the fire but the fact that the caravans were squished into a small site with inadequate fire safeguards is against regulations. But they got away with that by saying it was an emergency site . The fire hose and hydrant didn't have any water pressure. It is wrong to house families with children on sites like that at all never mind excuse it once they've all been burnt to death.
If you tried to build an attic conversion without attention to fire safety regulations in DLRCC I bet they would pull the plug pretty fast. But hey it's ok because they were only travellers?

Jerichoholic · 16-01-2019 03:31AM

You can't blame that on anyone. That's called an accident.

That’s not fair. You cannot say that people don’t care about the deceased because they’re travellers. What happened was horrific, but there is no sense at all playing the blame game. It was a horrible accident, that could have happened in any one of our homes. Chip pans are unfortunately not safe to use. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.

It's to allow people to discuss various topic and have there say in them.

You're the mod of this thread, are you? So it's ok to allow this nasty diatribe go on for weeks on end? What do you think, it's free speech? Its hate speech , and anti traveller, and anyone who believes in spreading this muck deserves to be reported and fined. You are not doing any job here as far as I can see because this thread is totally rampant with all the usual right wing suspects and they are saying and bullying away there with impunity. What do ye want here on Boards, notoriety , like Breitbart News? You guys need to talk to whoever is setting the rules because there is no dignity or respect for anyone displayed by a good few of the posters here. A d isn't that meant to be central to this site?
On a day when the inquest of those Carrickmines families has been in the news to have an ongoing thread like this! You all should be ashamed of yourselves :!

The purpose of Fire Safety regulations as laid down by law, is to prevent such accidents, and make no mistake about it, all public housing temporary or otherwise come under that law. Your home is not the same as a fibreglass caravan . Save your crocodile tears, honey!

It is not anti traveller to have an issue with how they conduct themselves. Stop with that nonsense. Are they anti traveller in NZ? Their behaviour outside of this country is making world headlines. And that’s only for mild anti social behaviour compared to what they get up to over here.
