“School run den off 2 the council fingers crossed all goes well ��”

Hoping to get rewarded for her actions today.

For what exactly? A bigger house, she just got one? Is she expecting to get a 4/5 bed in tallaght? People who have 300k can't even get one.

And she bitches and moans about the council and now expects them to help her even more.

Id put her file on the admin desk and leave it at the bottom of the pile

"Sorry love,computer says noooooo!"

It would be nice if she's disappointed but the Council wouldn't want the publicity

Single homeless mother of seven, promised a house but turned down

It's awful Joe!!!

Some of her supporters comments are infuriating

"Best of luck hun u deserve it xxx"

Deserve it grrrr

Try this as a possible scenario.

Ok, we need someone here to be the fire safety person and we'll train them to do that.
Fcuk off an leave de traveller alone ya racist cnut!
No seriously, someone here has to be the fire safety guy.
Get off the fcukin site or I'll take a hook to ya. We own this site now so fcuk off.
But it's the law.
We don't do the law. MAGGIE GET THE LADS OUT!
Alright, I'm going, I'm going.

Yeah, that was before they morphed into a criminal organisation.

No, the actual scenario is fire officer arrives in halting site without his entire body protection suit on.

Savage dog who is mistreated by travellers emerges from under a caravan and rips fire officers stomach open. Traveller men are sitting drinking nearby and they dont call dog off until poor fireman is half dead.

Rinse and repeat.

Wonder has Margaret gotten some bad news because after returning from the council she seems to have gone on a Facebook spree - like 20 shared posts in the space of 45 minutes. Not exactly the behaviour of someone celebrating being awarded a house.

The authorities need to stamp out this 'calling out' ****e for once and for all.
That little bollix brandishing the slash-hook should be made do something useful with it, like cutting back the overgrown hedgerows along our country roads and receive 5 kicks in the hole every hour along the way.
And cut his dole and 'entitlements' for 6 months.

If you brandish a slash hook like that, you're a fcuking knacker. And that's nothing to do with being a traveller. It means you're an absolute violent scumbag and nothing more.

I always thought there were laws that made it an offence to threaten people, especially with weapons such as slash hooks.

The law doesn’t apply to everyone. Did you not know that?

An unfortunate fact in Ireland is that laws seem to apply far more to the law-abiding than they do to those who routinely ignore the law.

I'm no fan of the travellers, but this is going too far, and puts me in mind of old punch cartoons.

The British weren't just making **** up. Poor, uneducated groups tend to have these problems. The travellers would be grand if only their kids saw out their education. Spewing bile about them being subhuman is pig-ignorant.

Why is it, do you think, that their children don't see out their education?

The short versions is because their parents don't value it, which is enabled and exacerbated by a failing national policy because it's a politically unpalatable topic.

I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that calling them "in reality a less developed form of life" is exactly the sort of repulsive racism that was directed at this nation. It's fuel for the kinds of folks who think pointing out secondary school completion rates or incarceration rates for travellers amounts to racism. The debate has to be better than that, or it will continue to be impossible outside of some ranty little thread in a corner of the internet.

The ones I know are educated, to a very high level. But not educated in the way we are educated. Not book smarts. They are educated how to scam the system, how to fiddle, how to steal etc.

And you'd be fairly naïve to think that most of them are poor. Yes, there are poor travellers. But many of them would buy and sell us.

Unfortunately, as Casey found out, there is no debate - it's either shut your mouth or be called a racist. There's no space in Irish media or politics for a debate, therefore people will lash out in frustration on the forums they can.

They don't value it because there's more money to be had the other way. As the saying goes 'a crooked pound is as good as an honest pound'. And that was said to me by a traveller.

Look, all the discussion in the world isn't going to make a blind bit of difference. Travellers won't engage and tow the line when it comes to responsibility etc. They won't change unless they have to change. And that's not going to happen because we are bending our laws to suit them. Or at least not enforcing them. Here is one example - So what if it's their culture to keep horses, so we have to get them accommodation with stables etc?

Could I say the same if I was from gentry and fell on hard times? Us gentry always had horses, I need stables with my council house? Get ta feck.

Nope, the vast majority of travellers only travel between their taxpayer-funded accommodation, the dole office, and whatever little side scam they have going.
There's a halting site in my nearby town, and the same people are living there now as were living there when I was a child 40 years ago, yet none of them, their kids, or their kids kids finished secondary school to the best of my knowledge.

Because they don't want their culture to die out. If they went to school and got jobs it would only take a few generations for them to be completely indistinguishable from the rest of the population.
Their whole culture depends on the continuation of this ignorant old fashioned ways.
This is why I find their ethnic status odd, does the government want them to go to school and integrate with society or to continue as is?

Divide it between herself and all the kids and they wouldn't have to carry too much.

But what exactly IS their culture? Horses were needed once upon a time for pulling caravans. Now they use cars, vans, etc. And use horses for sulky racing.
When did extravagant weddings become part of their culture? Or injecting themselves with fake tan? (Many getting hepatitis from sharing needles)

Because a 15 year girl old who left school at 12 will be far more compliant than a 25 year old woman with a university degree who wouldn't tolerate being married off to a cousin and expected to be a baby factory and general maid.
