But as long as they can say what they want unchallenged by our media and TV presenters, they will never stop.

Why would you have to consult trespassers???

What’s the betting this appears as an item on RTÉ 6 o’clock news?
Yet they refuse to identify them in crime and drugs wars all over the country or to mention why there are so many Travellers in prison.

Was dumbfounded until I seen European court mentioned. Tell Europe to fcuk off on this matter.

You can blame the Travellers all you want (and they do deserve plenty of blame) but they have been enabled at every turn by our cowardly politicians. Apart from Peter Casey, how often have you heard a politician mention the elephant in the room? (I don't mean John Connors)

We have thrown money at them for generations and we continue to scrabble around apologising to then for every problem of their own making. Solidarity, Sinn Fein and Labour are particularly sickening in their support of a community that will not accept any responsibility for their own issues. The governing parties are also silent in their condemnation.

Ronin247 · 24-01-2019 1:20pm

It is just laying the framework for the inevitable lawsuits that will follow. There will be enough legal action against the council, all on the free legal aid boss, to feed an army of lawyers.

Trauma, shock, personal injuries, bereavement, smoke inhalation and everything else they can think of. There will probably turn out to have been 3000 travellers on the site that night and none of them will ever be able to work again..( again ha ha ha)

Every lawyer that submits a claim should be made live with them for 3 months.

You'd have to wonder why newspapers are so scared of people who can't ****in read.

Journalists and media types (beit on radio or TV) broadcast their views and opinions to their fellow media tribe members

Hence all the otherwise farcical outrage response to what Peter Casey said in October

They were outraged because their fellow media creatures expected it of them

His aunt was on Ireland's Got Talent tonight!

Pffft, average singer at best.

Watch and see, she'll probably win it for fear of offending anyone or claims of discrimination.

Angry rant on Twitter from John if she doesn't get votes.

AllForIt · 03-02-2019 12:08am

See, travellers are just as capable as everyone else. Just as good.

But wait, if that's true then why we do we have to pay for them to survive through our taxes?

Incidentally when I flicked through the channels earlier this evening and seen a snippet of her performance I though I was watching a drag act.

I'm a traveller......people feel obliged to applaud.

"Is that John the actor?"

Plumbthedepths · 03-02-2019 12:29am

She's a good singer no doubt, but John is still adhering to the thread title.

She came across very well, I don't see what the issue is there. Fair play to her. And her kids seemed lovely.

Say what you want about crime and other issues within the community, but to have a go at someone putting themselves out there like that and doing absolutely nothing wrong, in fact being a positive role model if anything - you're the scumbag.

AndyBoBandy · 03-02-2019 4:39pm

I wouldn’t be having a go at her at all, and fair play to her for entering the show. She should be judged solely on her talent.

I did notice a hint of acknowledgement of the bad behaviour of travellers though when she said her being on the show could be a ‘positive’ for the travelling community

After last weekend, a picture of a traveller having a dump in the ditch would be "positive" for the travelling community. (for those who do know know: Massive bare knuckle boxing match and gardai were afraid to intervene)

I've no issue with her. Her singing wouldn't be my style but I think she'd be better off leaving John at home!

Are you refering to John Connors of the Shakespearean Acting company?

BBFAN · 03-02-2019 4:53pm

I thought she had a lovely singing voice but I was convinced that she said John was her husband. Only found out she was his aunt today.

She seems like a nice girl too.

Is he linked to crime?

Yes, I thought she said John was her husband but she said John is with her her husband.(We had to rewind it)

Whatever about anything else but those kind of insults are low. Even more so given the fact he has openly discussed his weight and mental health.

80% of Traveller males have a criminal record before the age of 22, the other 20% havent been caught yet.

Do you think he is overweight because he eats crap and doesnt exercise or because he is a traveller? Always someone elses fault.... bigot racism, traveller rights, institutional segregation....... discrimination, product of my environment.

yeah yeah heard it all before "muh culture"

In fairness she's far too good looking for him.

Dr_serious2 · 03-02-2019 5:21pm

We are doing decent travellers a disservice by not tackling the huge problem of criminality in their community.

Next time a politician looks for your vote, ask then straight out if there is a problem with crime in the travelling community. Anyone who answered anything other than an immediate yes does not deserve a vote. That is the only way to change our culture.

Are you serious? The man has spoken out about eating problems due to mental health issues. Mocking his weight is just really poor form.

For the record, I agree with very little he says and am in full agreement with the thread titles. It there's discussing things and then there's being a sh1t person

Eh okay...……

Because asking politicians that question is going to solve the problem how?

I'm fully aware that there's a problem with criminality in the traveller population, that doesn't mean I have any answers to it?

Did you ever think his mental health problems might be due to his dietry choices?
You know diabetes is a massive problem in Traveller community?
Do you think his mental health problems might be down to pure boredom?
You know he blames his lack of diversity of roles down to racism? The late and great Windsor Davies was also typecast and he never complained about work?

Maybe if Marvel made a Superhero film "Lurcherman: River of Tarmac" he could play the lead role?

Friend, travellers and Gorjas,
Lend me your ears, I have some power tools, carpets and pirated DVDs,
These are untraceable by the guards, I have come here to sell them and not to praise them.
For the evil that men do is forgiven by the bargains they sell and good is not given with a waranty. So be it with the special price Van Walt power tool collection.
Little did you know that it not only comes with imperical and metric sockets.
and yet today I am taking an extra 10% for every buyer.
the carpets I have today are son special offer, you cannot return them because they have changed the locks

So let it be with John Connors

Come on Skooter... the guy spouts tons of rubbish, going on about his physical appearance is a low blow.
Depression has been a staple of his life for a long time, he lost his father to suicide, for example.You can come at the guy for so much, going after his appearance is just beneath us all.
Mental illness is not down to 'boredom'--it's dangerous to pervade such a myth.

They'll tell you they have no problem with travellers of course, sure didn't all the presidential candidates, except one, say they'd live next to a halting site. Lies of course, but in this climate being a hypocrite is perfectly fine in respectable society.

I saw cardboard gangsters on Netflix it was a good movie.

Connors was the lead actor.

Just asking the question, could mental illness be as a result of not enough mixing of the gene pool?

I know I don't like Connors, but it's a genuine question.

There is dignity in work and effort, it was makes food taste good. Ever see gordon ramsey with soldiers? They eat 4000 cals a day and are lean and mean. Travellers...... they are just mean. Nothing to do all day and all day to do it.

John Connors is a bit of a wanker
