Should the National Traveller organisations after almost 20 years of requesting meetings.
In person, email, phone calls, social media, videos, contacted the "Traveller Mediation Service" and still they wont meet. All fellow Traveler activists and especially the "rebels" activists, you no longer can hide knowing what NGOs have been doing to the very same people that you take si such pride in defending.

Traveller Pride Awards has becom the Freakshow of Irish Travellers for the wider Settled Community. Its a Freakshow for Irish State officials, its Freakshow for the Settled of people in the organisations getting paid to mock Travellers.

Pavee Point, The Irish Traveller Movement and others. Lets sit down and talk, i know that i will never let this go and from day one till the day that i die that these organisations change their ways and stop killing Travellers.

I am calling on all political candidates, including all political parties and including the Government of Ireland. For freedom of political aspirations, that Irish we Irelands Travellers be included in real democracy of our own country that respects differences. That each County Council, in Ireland, would co-op an Traveller onto each Council and work together for the betterment of all community's. This is about restoring both our historical and the lack of political rights. That we can build better communities out of equality, and together, going forward we become one Civilization.

I, its pointless trying to hide it, i would be anti FG political party, its been like that for many years now (no need to take personal), much the same goes for the FF political party and to be honest about it, im probably anti most political parties in Ireland. Butt differently FG, you be at the very the top. But i am also willing to end my crusade in the name of democracy for democracy. The Irish Government are been called out to support democracy. Our community's have both a complex and historical relationship, its time that we all learned to work with each other and together. No longer against each other, no more hiding behind our colonial past and creating a better future for people.

Should this act of decency and of course' not failing to mention about upholding the values of democracy. This co-opting that gives our community (Irish Travellers) our own internal election process, our style selection and our world view. We will be sending the best people forward and bringing our own style democracy for best outcomes for all of our shared Society.

Looking to your reply.

Oh how I would love for rte to be used as the new dumping site as rte think the travellers can do no wrong.

Another great idea would be to use Enda Kenny's front lawn and Leo's also.


I have on numerous occasions had to stand up to these bullies in work and outside of it too.


I have lost all faith in the judicial system and Gardai a long long time ago.
