Not being contrarian but needed work done to my house, brick repointing, chimney capping, guttering, etc, bloke came round to do the job, his origins only sank in after mulling over his accent, surname and connection to a large Midlands town, anyway, him and his colleagues were perfect gentlemen, didn't overcharge and did a sterling job. They can't all be the spawn of Satan.

He he he.
I wonder was the capping a bit like that filmed by that British TV program about dodgy tradesmen where a traveller "gentleman" was filmed actually painting the capping with very watery concrete.

Looks great when it is done, but about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Your experience is the same interactions people have everyday with 99% of Travelers.
For some reason people use the bad apple's or the 1% of Travelers to discredit all Travelers

By god those 1% must be very very busy if they manage to cause all the fights at funerals/weddings, cause all the mayhem in pubs, leave all the cr** at illegal encampments, cause all the thefts, carry out all the bogus accidents, carry out all the illegal highly dangerous sulky races on national roads and manage to pi** off the vast majority of the population.

And who said travellers aren't hard working.

Well the guards do have form in this.
People should remember how many outstanding arrest warrants Frog Ward had when he finally met justice.

Newspapers usually don't mention travellers, but they leave in words and phrases like "family feud", "several slash hooks recovered", "Ward" or "it started at a childs communion party" so we know what's actually going on

119 previous convictions between them and they got a suspended sentence. Why ?

They should have all been thrown in jail - why is this type of behaviour constantly tolerated.

Was doing the same sums myself. Fooking shocking. And here’s me with zero convictions paying for it all.

I'm all on for facilitating them partake of their cultural proclivities where possible. Would it not be bigotry to prevent them practising their norms?

punisher5112 · 13-05-2019 8:44pm

Don't forget the legal profession such as judges are more then delighted to keep things turning as they give work to the solicitors and barristers that they themselves once were.

The whole system from the top down needs sorting.

White collar crime is another huge issue needs dealing....

I work hard and do it all by the letter of the law but these scum bags don't have to.

You don't get it

RTE are at the forefront of PC culture and censorship of any negative stories re_ minorities, RTE deliberately conceal traveller crime while always magnifying any sort of traveller achievement

We need to invest in prison spaces. The judges cannot out them in jail because the spaces aren't there.
Demand that your politicians invest in prisons.

Couple months time, there'll be a fued, and they cant be accommodated together, seperate sites required.
Queue much handwringing and pearl clutching in the leafy suburbs of detached redbricked homes, that we're not providing sufficient culturally appropriate accomadation.

Meanwhile bodies rot on trollies, and people are waiting years for surgeries....

FutureGuy · 14-05-2019 4:13pm

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.

And the experiences you listed is what the vast majority of us in this country have personally experienced in some form.
But, of course, those in the ivory towers of RTE and those with Liberal Left tendencies have never witnessed this type behavior, so we must be making it up then.

The Government's pandering should be rewarded at voting time, including the May 24th elections. It's the only way we can get the message across.

Not sure they would get free legal aid for this - but possibly supported by Pavee Point, which gets money from government.

I thought legal aid was just for criminal proceedings, not civil.

Fella driving along a back road in north Sligo came across fellas in a VW Golf chucking bin bags on the verge. He started filming. Scum didn’t know what to do, got in and out of car. Then one of them starts to come up to the car of the guy filming effing and blinding. Guy videoing reverses a bit but keeps filming and tells em to pick it up. Traveller goes back to bin bags and puts them back in car.

North Sligo is Bernard Sweeney territory. I wonder will he mention it, especially given that he is an outspoken environmentalist.

"Mr Griffin said his client was influenced by her former partner Michael Maughan (25) to commit the offence. He said Kiely instructed him to express her remorse and apologies to the victim and the court.

Maughan of Hazel Hill, Tallaght, Dublin, also pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to handling assorted stolen jewellery on January 21, 2018. Judge Melanie Greally sentenced him to four year's imprisonment with the final two suspended."

Not his first rodeo either

People, particularly in rural areas, need to cop on and become more inclusive. Ireland is full of these backward hicks unfortunately, who are mean to anyone whose culture they aren’t used to.
