    Did he confide in you often about his decision making process at the time?

    It would be interesting to know what John Connors thoughts are on this matter.

    According to John Connors anyway.

    While the video only adds to my perception of travelers as being some of the worst types of human beings on the planet. I don't rely on it or videos like it to hold this viewpoint. That comes from first-hand experience.

    Over the last 12 months, my own personal experiences with travelers include:

    Dangerous Sulky race on a public road
    Encroachment onto private lands adjacent to where I live and dumping **** everywhere
    Attempted Counterfeit currency payment to me in my place of work
    Aggressive, drunken and public disorder on the ferry from Holyhead

    Then a friend of mine from Holland was telling me even over there Irish travelers are going around scamming elderly dutch pensioners by offering to do domestic repair work and extorting money off them afterward.

    Now undoubtedly some of these behaviorisms do exist in the settled population. However on a per capita basis, based on my own experience there is absolutely no comparison and to say otherwise is false.

    Referenda are for changing the constitution. What part of the constitution are you looking to change?

    what did the ethnic status recognition thing achieve?

    travellers already had specific protections under discrimination legislation.

    did it further emphasis travellers as "the other"? i think thats a fair observation.

    Seriously though, why do people keep saying "I'd like to know John Connors' take on this"?

    Folks, you know there'll just be radio silence.

    A lot of Barrister's make an absolute fortune defending Travellers.

    It doesn't matter whether the travellers win or lose.

    But the Barrister takes his or her cut no matter what way holds sway.

    They're all getting free legal aid.

    Their culture is good for keeping the bar rolling.....

    The kid obviously doesn’t want to drink the Guinness. He only took a few sips.

    Actually feel that Travellers are fairly well protected under the Constitution as it is.

    Freedom to travel
    You have a right to move freely within the State. You also have a broader right to travel and to get a passport for the purpose of travelling.

    Equality before the law
    All citizens shall be held equal before the law (Article 40 of the Constitution). This means that the State cannot unjustly, unreasonably or arbitrarily discriminate between citizens. You cannot be treated as inferior or superior to any other person in society simply because of your human attributes or your ethnic, racial, social or religious background.

    The third one is interesting given the nature of this thread.

    The rights of children
    Article 42A was added to the Constitution in 2015. It affirms children’s natural and imprescriptible rights and the State’s duty to uphold these rights. Children have the right for their best interests to be of paramount consideration where the State seeks to intervene to protect their safety and welfare.

    The kid is doing exectly what his father is telling him what to do !!!
    The kid has now got a taste of alcohol .
    It doesn't matter it was only a few sips ( in your words ) .
    This is how children turn out to be alcoholics / violent / criminals etc etc .
    In general if your a good parent ...your child will turn out fine .

    What does it matter so long as he can bate the head off of his opponent when he grows up? They place no value on book learning.

    It's actually a bit heartbreaking when the kid says that he cant drink fast while that lowlife scumbag of a "father" forces him to try neck it.

    Just when you thought you seen it all with this crew a video like this comes along.Confirms even more they're the scum of the Earth and need to be wiped from the face of the planet.

    I wonder what the views of Tubridy, Miriam O’Callaghan, Dr. Ciara Kelly and the rest of the media who stand up for Travellers and put down anyone with with an opposing view actually think of this video?
    My guess is that they’d turn a blind eye and totally ignore it’s existence as it wouldn’t suit their agenda.
    I’d love to see a family like this moving in next door to each of them.

    Travelers should have been forcibly settled in the period between the founding of the state and our joining of the EEC.

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

    - In 10 or 20 years time, it could easily have a lot to do with our politicians. We might as well get involved before we've inherited a bigger problem.

    Has that mouth from pavee point come out to condemn the video?
    He surfaces when travellers feel even slightly offended but doubtful he'll want to talk about this.

    The chissler is a miniature Big Joe Joyce. Draw a handlebar moustache on him and he's a dead ringer.

    As for the content of the video? Doin' no harm to nobody, yis bunch of innocent racists.

    He looks a bit of a lightweight drinker. Couldn't even finish a glass of Guinness.
