    A few stables and a couple of acres.

    I have two boys in their teens. I would never put myself and them in a situation where they were to be the saviours if anything were to go wrong.

    I'm not empathetic. I lost my sister at a very early age. I know what it can do to a family. But the constant blaming of the council is ridiculous. Margaret Cash calls the thing "The Carrickmines Killings" It's as if the council sent a few lads out to "Burn them out of it".

    That it’s council owned and they’re more sympathetic and less likely to evict when her children rack up 100s of convictions stealing and terrorising the locals before the age of 16

    Fair play to her for making and attempt towards housing her family, asking about the log cabin.


    It's nice she owns a site. Never ending flow of money.

    She won’t *buy* it, you can be sure of that.

    You are claiming because you pay taxes and bough your own property you had more rights than them to say how tax money should be spent. They also pay taxes and have a say, see you are just a hypocrite

    If I recall you placed several cultural and social aspects of travellers as them all be criminals and disparaged the idea they have a culture. They are all racist things to say even if you don't think they are a minority or a race. Did you not do these things?

    Now what level of racist are you? I answered your questions

    I just asked whether you would
    Keep up.

    What is traveller culture?

    (Ive disparaged criminality..fraud...theft... violence..domestic violence...)
    Is that the culture you're at great pains to defend?
    You are moving goal posts all over the place. I never claimed to rent to travellers and you asked if I would. I said I would and you came back pointing out I never did. That is you suggesting I said I did claim to rent to travellers.

    You are, while doing it again, saying travellers are all criminals. You asked me to point how you are racist and have done so. You denying it racist doesn't change what it is.

    Can you imagine getting so drunk and stoned that you'd end up setting your house on fire and putting your son in that position?

    Personal responsibility goes a hell of a long way.

    We actually need a political stance where they say enough is enough and we actually can't be painted this way anymore and actually state the facts for what they are.

    If any political party was to do this I would be backing them no problems.

    You are aware there is actually an Amish community in Ireland?

    Yeah and it keeps happening as well in the same areas. Unlucky really

    Cork City Council working to eliminate scourge of illegal dumping on northside site

    ity Hall is working on a long-term strategy to eliminate the scourge of illegal dumping on a vast site on the northside of Cork city.

    The news came yesterday following confirmation that funding for a massive clean-up of the city council-owned Ellis’s Yard site in Ballyvolane has been secured.

    Councillors were told on Monday that it is hoped the work will start within weeks, and will include the repair of security fencing around the site and the installation of CCTV cameras.

    The site, next to the Spring Lane halting site, has been plagued by repeated incidents of illegal dumping over the years, with Cork City Council spending more than €500,000 between 2003 and 2014 on large-scale clean-ups of the site.

    I predict that they will be the shortest-lived CCTV cameras in the history of the world.

    1) yes

    2) it has as much to do with this as the tribes living in the forest, asylum seekers, Rogers alleged kids and how much tax you claim to pay because of your sh@t accountant that you've already tried to derail the thread with.

    3) they dump their rubbish square in the middle of halting sites and the travellers living there are so scared to say anything that they just blame the settled community.

    Tax credit is still a payment of money by the state.
    Private schools still take state money. I have always held the view that if you want to send your kids to private schools then pay for it entirely. Why should I as a tax payer pay for your lifestyle choices and luxury?
    You have no problem funding those who don't need it I see. Do traveller children have any choice in their situation? So when the state give you money that you can spend on ski trips for you think that is fine but to make sure some other children don't live in squaller you don't think the should.
    The difference is you are a racist and think you have more rights to say how taxes are spent.

    Stuff

    You're all over the place. Incoherent ramblings, bereft of any continuity of thought or a modicum of a point, replete with strawmans. All you've in the locker is "racist"

    Simple question. How am I a racist?

    You say less than brilliant things about a certain subsection of the poor auld travellers. So, like a traveller robbing from Lidl, easier just to scream racist.

    Ray, would you move next to a halting site? Third time of asking.

    Asked and answered. I repeat what level of racist are you?
    Ignoring the issues with your children's private education taking state funding. A much higher amount of money you are complaining about at about 110 million a year.

    Why is his children's education not entitled to the same level of funding as every other child?

    I'll try a different approach, what makes your entire property portfolio unsuitable to let to travellers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,300 ✭✭✭Ray Palmer


    George
    Basically I am trying to figure out your logic. I am asking you relevant questions to your views. Just because you can't comprehend why and what I am asking says more about you than me.
    How do you feel about minorities and funding or other people is all relevant as such. Is it just travellers you are racist about? You are racist that is not a question left to be answered. Whether you admit it doesn't make any difference.

    He sends them to private school which should not be funded by public money. It is and he is complaining how his tax is spent on travellers. I have a problem with private schools using public money, are you ok with that? €115million a year that costs the state

    Private schools get the same level of funding from the government as every other school.

    I have never said this was funny, read my posts . I am angry at traveller bashing going on in this thread while this inquest is going on. The council have a list of their sites emergency or otherwise on it and this site was being monitored, but not for fire safety , it appears.


    By shifting the blame away from those responsible - the person who took away the smoke alarm, the person who had a chip pan, the person who left it burning away on the highest setting and the people who drank and smoked themselves into unconsciousness - you are making a joke of it.

    Neither the government nor the council can control the really stupid acts of really stupid people, unless they lock them up. Even then, as we see in prisons, really stupid acts can still occur. So, unless you believe that the council should have locked them up with guards on the doors watching their every movement, then the only ones to blame are the people in the caravan themselves.

    No issue with taking funding away from private schools. It should be done on a phased basis over a number of years so that there isn't a sharp shock with all the pupils suddenly wanting places in overcrowded existing public schools.
    Private schools get the same level of funding from the government as every other school.

    Private schools do not get the same level of funding from the government. They get paid for the same number of teachers, but they do not get capitation funding and generally are not eligible for most capital funding. If private schools closed overnight, there would be a significant cost to the taxpayer hence my suggestion above of a phased move.

    P.S. I had children, some of whom were educated publicly, some privately, it depended on their needs and wants.

    Private schools actually save the state money, but don't let that get in the way of your rant.
