    Proper order. Travellers are getting to used to pulling the discrimination card every time someone disagrees with them and then looking for compensation.

    Took up smoking again due to the altercation.

    I'm sure there is a grant she can apply for for that, otherwise it might be a case of discrimination!

    There’s clearly a pack of ambulance chaser type Solicitors encouraging all this rubbish as it’s usually so easy for them to win under our hair brained judicial system. Good to see some if this non sense nipped in the bud.

    I always got a traveller vibe off the Healy Rae's. I'd say Danny is no stranger to bare knuckle boxing.

    Fair fůcks to him, not many people are willing to stand up to them. They are holding this country to ransom, may this embolden a few more politicians to stand up and rein them in.

    Never heard of Battles before, there's usually about a dozen surnames, one of which usually come up.

    Shop worker aside, not particularly fond of either party in this case, it's like reading about a fall out between a Chelsea and a Rangers supporter.

    Not. All. travellers.

    Wasn’t there one a few years ago that did a degree. Granted 85% of them are unemployed(not sure what % of the remainder are on disability), and what is it; they make up 22% of the prison population.

    But not all travellers.

    Ms Battles - who attended the shop once a week - stated that as a result of what occurred she took up smoking again and was forced to seek help from the HSE.

    Imagine the dialogue in the court.

    Nevermind the Kerry accent , then you have the traveller accent and the weird mixture of farts, grunts and whistles of the dialect the Healy-Raes speak.

    It's the exception that proves the rule and I've yet to see a serious effort, or indeed any effort, by these "blameless" travellers to divorce themselves from the mainstream. If they did I'm sure they would be welcome in settled society.
    In my local town there are several traveller families who rarely cause any problems and they are treated with respect by the settled community, but for some inexplicable reason when Uncle Paddy or Aunt Brigid arrive in convoy with various cousins, the whole clan suddenly revert to type with caravans and campers parked indiscriminately and filth everywhere, it's like a switch being thrown. For weeks after the visitors leave the local families are restless and hard to deal with before gradually settling down again.
    It really is intriguing to watch, it's like your family pet dog getting out one night and running with a pack to kill sheep.

    She probably got inspiration from the clown in Dublin who sued a pub because the barman thought his tenner was fake and he won five grand in compensation. It was a ridiculous case and thankfully the judge in this one had more sense.

    I remember about a year or so ago there was an article about the first traveller woman to get a PhD and her PhD was about travellers being discriminated against.

    I can't imagine where she might have gotten the content from!
    Oh, wait...
