Her circumstances have nothing to do with turning up to court looking like trash. I notice she had Louis Vuitton and Chanel handbags with her so obviously not short of a few quid. It's all about priorities isn't it?

I have met a number of very nice members of the travelling community. Went to school with them and I'll always say hello to them and stop for a chat if I meet them.

I've also met a traveller who threatened to call the guards if I didn't pay 200 euro for damage done to their car (I was simply walking past). Then there's the traveller and his two sons who hopped a ditch and threatened to kill my dad when he politely asked them to remove their horse from our property. Can't forget the group of travellers who beat the **** of my cousin a number of years ago and put him in a hospital for 3 weeks. Or the other one who broke the jaw of a friend of mine. Or the carload of them that chased my parents and ourselves in their cars because they were having sulky training with their 7-8-year-old kids on the wrong side of the road as we were turning a dangerous bend. Special mention to the numerous travellers engaged in criminal activity in my home town, stealing oil from heating tanks and breaking into houses. Of the two kids beating the sh!t out of their pony when I was stopped in traffic.

So yes, not all travellers are bad, but the most of them I have met are scum. The pandering to this group by the government and the media is sickening.

Agreed.

No, they’ve resorted to theft, violence, murder, assaults and general scumbaggery, all while milking the country for every penny they can possible think of.

And you called them noble?!? Get the ****in boat!

Compare them to the vast vast majority of Queens cavalry vids....BRITISH PEOPLE CANNOT RIDE!

I don't doubt they taken care of in the stable ..but..like WTF? They are meant to be the best of the best.

The irish army has an equine center. Our guys are much better.

Look at the spanish cavalry there is NO comparison

In other cavalry's around the world they even do elements of classical riding /dressage!

Our guys compete in showjumping etc.

How many laws do you think were broken in that 5 minute clip?

If members of the settled community had an illegal horse race on the N4 and were caught, how many of them do you think would be make appearances in court and be fined?

That's a joke that they can constantly do this on Irish roads, no respect for the law here, yet they shlt themselves in front of the German police as they know that they will feel the full force of the law there for blatant illegal behaviour.

Big difference between horses obviously in training, getting used to new things and those that have passed the test.

What are you trying to say? That video you posted of the horses being chased by the cars is horrible.

And yes. I care more for the animals involved than the vermin abusing them.

They are not being chased by cars you obviously don't know enough about horses to understand. They are being DRIVEN by the driver in the sulky and many horses drive carriages on the roads with cars. Its not a problem.

I don't mean to be offensive. But this is really ignorant comment to make. Please educate yourself.

The cars are a safe enough way from the horses. And its clear the horses are used to them. They are being driven by the driver who has the hands of god imo. Driving a horse in a harness is really hard i've seen it gone really wrong a lot. These guys are experts. And I am not being mean but these guys know WAY more about horses than the average poster on boards.ie including yourself.

Harness racing is huge in the states and they are often raced on the roads.

Who do you think did a better job?

It might not be a good idea to race on the open road but they highly highly skilled i assure you.

It's illegal.

The horses are starved and left to die on the side of the road if they fall.

That's the thing though. All Traveller surnames aren't exclusive to the Traveller community: Ward, McDonagh, Mongan, Joyce, etc. There are plenty of ordinary, law-abiding citizens with those surnames. However, when we see a news report about criminality and those surnames are mentioned, we know it is Travellers. Funny that.

Are you surprised? I bet you are

Most horses owned by travelers are looked after.
Clearly those horses are looked after and REALLY well schooled. Pacing is hard to school. Even in gaited horses.
And be honest with me would you really have enough experience with horses yourself to be able to tell the difference ?? I am not being funny but it kind of comes across like you don't.
Clearly there is zero abuse going on in that video. I am riding over ten years.
Don't call travelers subhuman and vermin. They are doing nothing wrong in that video. The horses look well cared for. They are a good weight their feet look good etc. Well groomed etc.
Lots of people ride their horses out on the road.
Of course some horses are abused. By settled people rich people etc but people don't see it because they don't know enough to know the diff they just know travelers BAD and they show themselves up as people you should not listen to.
