    It sounds like they are in a pub or restaurant is it even legal for them to have a child on the premises consuming alcohol. I'm surprised they weren't kicked out.

    Imagine the hassle of trying to kick them out.

    And the chances of getting sued afterwards.

    I always wondered why a lot of young traveler kids have big puffy faces. Answer: Guinness.

    John Connors ( actor) must have had the black stuff hooked to his veins from aged three

    When’s he robs some pensioner in 20 years it will be the settled people’s fault that they turned him
    into an alcoholic.

    According to John Connors anyway.

    I remember a traveller girl that used to tag along at lunch and she'd be robbing condiments and stuff from the shop to bring home to her mam for the kitchen. Awful sad really.

    They also wouldn't come to school for say 3 months at a time. Then the traveller boys on the other hand get away with murder and riding half the town. I know a couple of girls from school who ended up having children with some well known male travellers from around the town.

    Lots of the older men travellers from where I live would be perverts too. There was actually a young girl raped not far from me by a traveller man who was a family man and had many children my age or who i went to school with etc and of course nothing happened.

    I might sound really judgemental but they have never given me an excuse not to!

    I do know one or two that seem nice.

    Even as a teenager, you would need to be quite the skank to spread them for a traveller

    There's something so odd watching a few of those videos of grown men goading each other and talking about how much they're going to enjoy dishing out violence - all the while referring to their own fathers as their "daddies".

    Actually, my question is where is Zappone in all of this? She is the children's Minister. Maybe if the Traveller child was in Calais or Egypt, then she would act .... with the Irish media in tow.


    Zappone or Tusla has no authority in Northern Ireland that's where this young lad and his family live. His father is under a judge's order to only enter the Republic up to 3 weeks of the year for family events.

    One of the most disturbing videos I've ever watched. This is what our government puts on a pedestal.

    Look at you lot in your ivory towers. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this. Sure just after I was born the first thing my father did was give me a pint of Guinness. When the midwife tried to stop him he threatened to strangle her with the umbilical cord.

    Local elections coming up, shove the video in any canvassers face on your doorstep and make them explain why we have to accept and fund this disgusting behaviour.

    It is all a big over reaction. Everyone knows it is the Settled/Amish/Maori communities that are responsible for this.

    Shocking. Can the "parents" be arrested for child abuse on this evidence?

    Gardaí are scared of them. They dont really deal with a problem once they are involved.

    I contacted Tusla last week and apart from a dropped call from Westmeath I received nothing back. I looked up as much as I could find about the people involved, which is a substantial amount of information. I was sick of people complaining about it. I urge everyone to do the same.

    Tusla/ CPS in the UK need to get involved. There is outrage at the lack of action involved in the Rotherham child trafficking scandal, why is this carry on tolerated? Anyone who harms a child in this manner is dangerous and needs to be separated from the rest of society.

    As an aside, these people are often let off burglaries, assaults etc etc etc because of poverty and misunderstood culture excuses. Not many excuses can be made for force feeding a child alcohol- this could be the way to change the outcome.

    Have you not read the thread? What has an incident in Northern Ireland got to do with our politicians?

    That's one of the reasons why I voted to repeal the 8th unfortunately we can't abort the father, some day they will inbreed themselves into oblivion we can hope
