Azatadine wrote: » Yes. They've already sprawled out all over the footpath at their halting site, taken over another site, kicked out of another and set up at the gaelscoil. The whole road is taken over with them and they are expanding all over it. It's scandalous in any respect but even worse considering that it's a prominent road into the city.

They really are a law unto themselves.

Wanderer2010 wrote: All human behaviour is complex. Do you think if you camped out next to a school that YOU would get away with it? Why should they get away with it?
Wanderer78 wrote: » No and no, but of course they shouldn't get away with it, but strangely enough, many settlers get away with breaking rules and laws all the time, I do this, everyday. We don't live in a utopian world of equality. I can completely understand people's grievances with travellers, they're extremely difficult to deal with, I've had many run ins with them myself, but I've also had many good experiences with them.
