TV3 Ireland's Biggest Beggars

Gannicus · 15-08-2011 09:43PM #1

I'm Sitting watching it on the telly now and it doesn't paint the Roma in a good light at all. Some bloke just said and I quote:

"we should put a ban on anymore of them coming into the country" & "We should start deporting the rest".

I have heard (correct me if I'm wrong) that France are thinking of paying them or are already €300 each to leave and not come back. A friend of mine works with a Romanian guy and they seem to disdain them more than we do. Mainly because its a bigger problem in Romania and that everywhere they go they get called Romanian as opposed to ROMA GYPSIES (Yes there is a difference) I mean I see it myself in the morning at the GPO when I'm walking into work. A number of the getting out of 1 or 2 BMW X5's and dispersing in different directions down O'Connell St.

The thing that annoys me is not the begging its the aggressive stance they take, surrounding you and grabbing at you the general intimidation.

What do you think? Should we place a moratorium on any more entering Ireland and/or should we start deporting them?

LighterGuy · 15-08-2011 09:50PM

Romanian gypsies are scum. Through and through.
I have worked with regular romanian people and as the op said, they hate them as much as everyone else.

They should be thrown out. Simple as. Create some BS law or ruling (for face) while in reality just getting them out.

7sr2z3fely84g5 · 15-08-2011 09:51PM

the law is rubbish on this,guards arrest them,state gives them free legal aid and interpretor because they cant speak english all sudden,back out the streets within months.

what bunch of mugs the taxpayers are.

hdowney · 15-08-2011 09:53PM

watching it meself. flippin disgusts me honestly. they have such a bad rep (and give so many others a bad rep because of it). it is disgusting to see them hounding people like that.

you used to see the vans dropping a load into my town to beg for the day, but i haven't seen any of this in the last year.

honestly yes deport the lot of them. they don't deserve to be here. catch them begging once and they are out.

there are some honest irish people who cannot help but to beg, also there are honest foreigners getting tarred the same.

LighterGuy · 15-08-2011 09:55PM

- "people in dublin think if you are begging you are earning 200 euro a day"
- "no"

wake the f**k up. these are scum. they'd take the eyes out of the back of your head.

caitmb · 15-08-2011 09:57PM

I worked with a Romanian woman in Dublin few yrs ago who used to rip 7 shades of sh$t out of any Roma beggars she came across....said they gave her and her country a bad name.Funny thing was,I witnessed it a few times and obviously didnt understand a word but the Roma upped sticks from their begging spot every time without a word whatever she said to them!

That said I live 5 houses from a Roma family.....dreaded it and them but never really see them,house well kept in comparison to some.

Its like as if English people were to refer to Irish travellers living in England as just being Irish instead of making any distinction between Irish and Irish Travellers

If you try reading it again I do make a distinction.

siltirocker · 15-08-2011 10:07PM

+1 Bingo.

It really annoys me when people call the Romani Romanians. It's piss ignorant.

jayteecork · 15-08-2011 10:08PM

Thought the show was pretty crap.

He built them up as being part of some large racket then at the very end told us they weren't.

Undercover footage was poor.

Don't think anyone leanred anything new from that show.

mikemac · 15-08-2011 10:11PM

Did they interview any Irish beggars?

Extra competition might not be the correct term but the Roma make it harder for them too,

baldbear · 15-08-2011 10:12PM

Did anyone think a couple of the women were bangable?

Esoteric_ · 15-08-2011 10:12PM

Absolutely hate the gypsies! SOme people say that they aren't making that much money but that's simply not true! I see them coming into my job every single morning without fail for 10 euro each worth of food, about 8 or 9 of them. I'm sorry but I work and I sure as hell can't afford to spend a tenner a day on fast food, I can't even spend that on my food shopping for the week!

Aside from that, they are too aggressive in their begging, a bit like the junkies. They don't accept no as an answer and just keep grabbing and sticking their hands out at you, all the while have gold teeth and (while not nice) better quality clothing than I have on. Absolutely hate them. I have no problem with genuine beggars, but the roma gypsies are scum. Nothing less.

Yeah I know you did, I wasnt saying otherwise. A lot of people do call them Romanians though, thats all I was saying

Agree. No gardai or politicians interviewed and no real insights or solutions offered.

Here is what should happen. Any foreign beggars should be deported. They do not contribute and we cannot afford to be paying them social welfare.

The gardai need to be more proactive on Irish beggars. Move them on until they get the message. Near me there are 2 beggars who sit outside the local shops every day. I have seen the gardai talk to them and then nothing happens. Why dont they move them on?

They have free bus passes, get the dole and have their homes paid for. They are not in hardship. It is stupid people giving them money daily.

STOP GIVING BEGGARS MONEY and they will go away.

pragmatic1 · 15-08-2011 10:25PM

Dont like people that exploit the good nature of others. They drain any good will people have for beggars. Its a lifestyle for them.

EarlERizer · 15-08-2011 10:26PM

The fact that we've got these parasites here doesnt sicken me as much as how they've been allowed into the country and how they're allowed to behave.

Be careful with these dirty chancing bastards and more so if they have kids with them, their style of aggressive begging is designed to disorientate or distract you when they get close enough to dip your pockets/bags.

and the thing that galls me most, the ones selling Biggie Shoes ....now that really boils my pi$$!

Alibaba · 15-08-2011 10:28PM

OUT the door with the whole lot of them. Theyre no good to this country.

mikemac · 15-08-2011 10:29PM

Last time I was in Rome the metro was full of them begging
Roma in Roma, there is pun there somewhere

And yeah it's anecdotal evidence so ignore if you wish but when I was buying a few beer bottles to take to my hotel room in the shop next door they were in there with their huge amounts of change and trying to get notes.
LyndaMcL has seen the same in her shop

Ireland is just getting now what's been going on in Europe for decades. We repeat every mistake they do
Can we copy Sarkozy?
