I think this is a fair statement. Thats not me being racist, thats the truth. I'm on my mobile now but shall get you details of Roma crime rates in Ireland in a while when i'm on a pc. I'm sure they will back up my original post.

Organised crime Nowhere in Europe has there been more controversy over crime in the Roma community than in Italy, where the government recently declared a state of emergency following various high profile crimes blamed on the Roma. In Milan in 2007, just after Romania entered the European Union, police noticed a surge in theft and pick-pocketing carried out by Roma children. They launched a major investigation involving phone-tapping and surveillance, which revealed that a criminal gang was using the children to generate huge profits. "In a month period, each kid earned about 12,000 euros (£10,500). Then, 12,000 euros times by 50 kids, and if we do the maths, we reached an astronomical amount of money," says Francesco Messina, who led the police operation. Members of the gang were jailed for up to 14 years in prison for enslaving and exploiting the children, many of whom were discovered locked in a shed when police raided the camp. The rescued children were taken into care, but the BBC's This World programme discovered two of the boys had gone back to the streets of Milan, and were stealing again. Even this huge police operation had not saved them from a life of crime.

Lollipops23 wrote: » While that's great, I don't know and have never known any Roma's in employment. I myself work with an Estonian and a Pole in just my department. There are several Lithuanians, Russians, Lativians and South Americans (not quite sure what part) in my company. Pretty much any nationality you can mention, most of us will know of an example of them in employment. Honestly, and I'm really not trying to offend or stoke this fire, I have never heard of a Roma person in employment.
segaBOY wrote: » In fairness Terry noone mentioned Poles coming here to work or laughing at racist jokes . This thread has a completely different slant, we are not talking about immigrant workers, we are talking about the comments made by Judge Aingeal Ni Chonduin about the Roma and how their children are "raised to steal".
Terry wrote: » Actually, if you read the thread, you will see that it has very little to do with comments made by a judge and more to do with people taking pot shots at Roma gypsies.
