Travellers are great people altogether

Jumping to conclusions are ye?

Not in the slightest. Everyone knows it's Travellers "home" for Christmas, but RTE just say its related to a feud. Can't be offending them.

Nothing new here, some random Gaaboard regulars idiotically ranting against Travelers.
Soon someone will be saying they're as bad as Tyronies or even they're reminding people of the ethnic violence Belfast experienced on a daily basis during the last hundred years of its history.
Fortunate those Travelers were never in positions of power in the Magdalene Laundries or weren't educated enough to be child molesting teachers, never mind being pious enough to be a christian child molesting clergy. Perhaps those Travelers are involved in the murky world of drug dealing or pressuring women into prostitution, I doubt that. But when it comes to law and order misfits, those Travelers have to be enemy nr 1 of the state.

You're the king of dog shite and shite in a bucket.

That's some rant. No idea what the relevance is.

Seems to be saying it's alright for those Rathkeale scumbags to act like the thugs they are because of all the bad things that were done to other people over the last 100 years 🙄

On reflection, it is not as clear as it might be. There people are undoubtedly travellers, but 90% of the travellers who might come to Rathkeale Christmas do not in any way get up to this sort of thuggery.
Traveller commits crime, GAA players commits crime etc tends to associate people with the crime who have nothing to do with it.

And the Travellers ramming cars in Patrickswell last night? Another few bad apples, but the vast majority are grand?

Do they contribute anything to society? Do they contribute anything to the public purse?
No - they're a drain on both, and a scourge on the nation.

Are you saying that the majority of travellers ram cars?

Do they contribute anything to society? Do they contribute anything to the public purse?
No - they're a drain on both, and a scourge on the nation.

There is a spectrum being not being much use and some of the stuff these people get up to.

Yes, I do.
But the travellers want to be treated differently, as an ethnic minority, they are a distinct group of people they tell us.
So they can hardly complain when people refer to the behaviour of their society.
If the "main Irish ethnic group" behaved the same way, can you imagine what the place would be like!?

Met a few travellers. Yet to meet a decent one. Will continue to look.

Grew up with many around me. Many more decent than not but they don't make the news. Each people have different experiences but I wouldn't lump them all together. I genuinely suspect that very few people on this board have any real day to day experience of Travellers.

[Milltown Row2]

Yeah was teaching some travellers years ago and the guys were great, the lad that organised it was a top bloke.

Of course there are some headers but I know more headers from my own community to be fair

Im the same, went to school with some travellers and they were all good people. On the flip side, had to throw a couple out of the pub I worked in many years ago. I can tell the difference between a few idiots though.

[general_lee]

Went to primary school with a few travellers, didn't think any different of them then and I don't really think any different of them now. Like people from all walks of life, some are c***ts.

[Rossfan]

Some "lovely" people around!
Anyone hazard a guess as to the politics of the Sh1te throwing "people".
