Irish Travellers - A Proud Ethnic Group

Probably, but not as bad as the island, moyross or southill

funny how the settled bigots are all up in arm about this incident in Fermanagh and dont give a fuck about the 13 year old getting killed in Fermanagh

That was an accident ye fuckin clown

What happened? I heard something about an 18 year old being questioned.

The young lad that died was kicking a ball around. An older lad fucked a full water bottle at him. Head trauma, freakish stuff.

Jesus thats horrific.

They’re rearrested that 17 year old in relation to the 13 year olds death. What a terrible situation.

Olympic boxing medallist John Joe Nevin has appeared in court charged in relation to an alleged criminal damage incident.
Nevin (25) made a brief appearance at Longford District Court yesterday, where he was charged with causing €200 worth of damage to ornaments and a glass cabinet belonging to a Rosemarie Nevin.
He was granted bail at the hearing and was remanded to appear again at Mullingar District Court in April.
The alleged offence happened at a property in the Ardleigh Vale estate in Mullingar, Co Westmeath on Monday.
Attempts by the Herald to contact the top boxer were unsuccessful last night.
The Mullingar-based Traveller is now pursuing a career as a professional boxer after he won a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympic games.
In October 2013, he announced that he was turning professional - four months after he won a gold medal at the European Amateur Boxing Championships in the Bantamweight division.
Nevin made his professional debut in a super featherweight bout on March 17, 2014, against Alberto Candelaria, winning by unanimous decision.

However, his professional career had a major setback after he had two legs broken in an assault by a gang of men last April.

No idea, but he was brought up on this thread for some reason as the search showed.

Bad day for the travellers in the courts


The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal in a case involving a boy from the Traveller community who was refused admission to the Christian Brothers High School in Clonmel, Co Tipperary in 2010.

Mary Stokes, the boy’s mother, had argued that a school policy which gave preference to the children of past pupils discriminated indirectly against Traveller children.

The boy’s father, a Traveller, was not a past pupil of the school.

The Equality Tribunal found that the school’s policy discriminated indirectly against Travellers.

However, both the Circuit Court and the High Court rejected that finding, decisions that were this morning upheld by the Supreme Court.

The court ruled that insufficient evidence had been put before previous hearings at the Equality Tribunal and at the Circuit Court.

It found it was therefore not possible to carry out a proper analysis.

Two of the five Supreme Court judges took a different view; that equality legislation meant that no appeal to the Supreme Court was allowed.

Reacting to the decision, Brigid Quilligan of the Irish Traveller Movement said Ms Stokes had taken the case on behalf of her son and of all Traveller children.

She said there was not a level playing field for all children to access education.

The school said it was very happy that its admissions policy had been upheld.

:clap:

I imagine that those places are heaven compared to the Dublin war zones.

:rolleyes:

Vehicle of choice in ennis.

The Christian Brothers, Clonmel mugged the travellers off here.

Not really, they didnt go after their costs which means the folly of this nonsense will be felt by many children

Good and Pwoper m8!
