im actually sick of reading all these, you nothing about the fights clearly, i myself am not from mullingar nor am i traveller but what you’re saying is predjudice and inconsiderate. the riots started over a dispute between the nevins and the quinn-mcdonaghs after an organised fair fight went badly, the dinnegans and the mcdonaghs were then put under pressure of disgrace to their family name and threats also. this is what started the riots. they didn’t make it hell for others everyone knew about it. they didnt wreck their own estate they dont live on that side. people from mullingar dont care about joe dolan. and finally maybe it would do you all a bit of good to get to know some travellers instead of being so judgemental i am friends with quite a few and they have never been anything but kind and generous to me, if they act differently to you its only because you act differently to them.

I thought they were rioting because they heard news of the planned Second Lisbon referendum vote in October.

Sure, condemn their behaviour, but they’re still people.

They’re people? Sure they are, but thats not much of a defense. Did you see the pictures in the papers? They’re people who behave like animals. Sure not all travellers are like this, but a large proportion are

I’m the liberal, and I already did stand up for travellers. But I agree there’s no value to calling violence or alcoholism or domestic abuse ‘culture’.

I’m not goingto say rioting and housing estate dextruction is admirable, but I still find the attitudes of hatred towards the travellers as a group is really disgusting. Sure, condemn their behaviour, but they’re still people.

Medbh says:

If you want to riot, why tear up your own housing estate? It’s like pissing on your own floor.

Medbh.. At the end of the day, they don’t own those houses. The council/Corporation does. Guess who ends up with the repair bill. Joe fucking Soap, taxpayer. Again.

There is also may I add, a serious lack of liberals on this Website.

Balance indeed SAm – maybe Twenty could find a Friends of The Earth Ban The Bomb Save The Whales black handicapped lesbian traveller to be a guest blogger ?
