SPRING IS COMING.

Check out the Irish Times today - writing more dribble!!

The Maguires, who are Travellers, have been on the council’s housing list for 10 years.

"They (the council) said they were in a position to offer us a four-bedroom house, in the location we wanted, before the end of the year,”

“We’re just sick of what they are doing to our family,” says William. “It’s a lot of stress. They just won’t give us a straight answer. It’s pulling us all apart.”

Imagine - the stress of taking your kids to school and having to lay around all day - 10 years on a waiting list and no sight of a job???

They have even approached Mercy Law, a not-for-profit legal firm specialising in housing rights, to act for them.

All I see is more money being wasted.

I saw this. It's sad to see a once decent paper like the IT reduced to writing press releases for scroungers (and the NGOs that make a good living championing them). One of the many reasons why I stopped buying it.

What type of a loser spends 10 yrs on a waiting list.

Why doesn't this jackass get himself a job and pay for his own house. His family are his responsibility not the councils.

Like Jesus Christ 10 yrs go by and they're still in the same position, what has he being doing to improve their situation over the past decade.

Fcking ludicrous.

I used to read the (paper copy) IT every single day once upon a time, and you'd see loads of copies of it around the office. Back then it's claim as "the paper of record" was a realistic one. Nowadays the IT is a bad joke - desperately trying to appeal to millenials by having "woke" diatribes and idiotic "opinion pieces" interspersed with barely-disguised press releases. What makes it even funnier, is that they are trying to reel in the "app generation" with an absolutely awful app!

Their circulation has halved over the past decade, and will only accelerate downwards. In 5 years, the IT will have the same level of credibility as The Journal (i.e.none). At present the Farmers Journal has more readers than it.

To think Brian O'Nolan wrote for this rag once!

Why should they work? Free medical card, free money and after enough moaning and waiting a big free house for all their kids. What's 10 or 12 years? My mortgage is 30. And it's not a 4 bedroom house.

What a load of nonsense, what Irish paper or media outlet do you think is better?

Just because none of the other media outlets are better, that doesn't mean that the IT is not a pile of sh1te.

Hi brand new poster. Welcome back.

Better than the present-day IT?

The Independent, pretty much any regional paper, the back of a cornflakes box, and the Beano.

You wouldn't like the Indo today, it debunks the 'Irish gypsies cause carnage' story from New Zealand that lots of traveller haters have been sharing the last few days

I read it, and it did nothing of the sort.

How did it debunk it? Reveal the big news that they are actually British travellers?

Our new(!) poster seems to think that the gypsy saying "I'm not a gypsy" debunks the story, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Actually, the fact that a population of around 40,000 people is, in the year 2019, celebrating the first PhD in its history only illustrates the complete disregard that most Travellers have for education. Only 8% of Travellers complete the Leaving Cert, and just 1% have a third-level qualification. Most Travellers have extremely high rates of illiteracy as well an unemployment rate of 80%.

I'm happy for Ms Joyce that she has achieved a PhD, but l don't see hordes of Travellers following in her footsteps. A Traveller is far more likely to wind up in jail than in university.

And it's a massive essay about how Travellers are discriminated against and settled people are to blame for all their problems :rolleyes:

What do English people having an argument abroad have to do with Irish Margaret Cash?

I wonder if a "settled" person wrote a thesis about how terrible it is to have to fund the traveller lifestyle while being a victim of their scams, would it be accepted for a PhD?

Nothing. But you said the Independent debunks the 'Irish gypsies cause carnage' story.

Don't start changing your argument now.

Why is a story about some English people getting into trouble abroad being talked about in a thread about Margaret Cash?

They were first reported as being Irish travellers.

For some reason you remind me of a poster that was banned from this very thread only yesterday. A coincidence I'm sure.

Same culture, same behaviour, same thread.

You're not making much sense.

Here's your quote, so you don't even have to scroll back up.

You seem to be hinting that they weren't travellers, as why would you mention traveller haters otherwise?

Now your story is actually them not being Irish debunks the story?

Normally I don't engage with new regs as they have agendas and only set up the account for one reason but you don't seem to know what your point was.

There seems to be a misunderstanding about the term "Irish Traveller". One does not need to be born in Ireland to an Irish Traveller. It is an ethnicity not a nationality.

You're 100% right I only set up an account because I can't believe some of the stuff on this thread.
Only browse boards sometimes to catch up with what's going on at home as I live in the UK now.
So much hatred for probably the poorest and most neglected people in society, it's incredible.

My point about the NZ story was that it was on the Irish news a few days ago, then it was reported here (UK) yesterday as being English people. I thought I wonder is that the 'Irish Travellers' that were all over the Irish news?

What interest should Irish people have in English people causing trouble in NZ??

Poorest and most neglected.....

I do hope you are talking about the travellers animals because you must be sniffing glue if you think the travellers are anyway close neglected or poor.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 16-01-2019 03:05PM

Poorest and most neglected?!
I’d be hard pressed to find a working family who could splash out 600 euro on an 8 year olds suit, or having a custom mini wedding dress made by an internationally recognized designer. They themselves receive thousands each year without ever being expected to contribute positively to society. What more do you expect us to do? Move out of our house and ask them to move in?
