Chased them up the Circuit Court, the High Court and the Supreme Court. Refused to back down. 
The travellers were no doubt looking to settle on the court steps as always .Not too much to do with the young lads education I’d say but more to do with looking for keep quiet money, the bastards.
What a pack of total cunts. Sure it’s our history. Where was that chipper? Some hell-hole in Mullingar or Athlone i suppose.
Could well be tasty bites in the Travellers Hollywood(Rathkeale)
I’m 50/50 on travelers. I’m the type who can get along with anybody and never prejudge a person. I find it good policy to take people as I find them. Some of the stories you’de here though would you wonder are they genuine or are completely running rings around the people.
In the long run for the betterment of the overall community here in this country I would suggest government and the settled community reexamine our prejudices and reach out the friendly hand. Society can do without the undercurrent of dis-ease. Very complex matters where an evenhanded mellow and mature farsighted approach needs to be taken.
That said the only time I ever hear about travelers is through the media. The media must tick their boxes.
I’d say it’s Tasty Bites in Rathkeale. They look like Rathkealers anyways.

Weird observation Petey. 
What’s weird about it har?
ok har that is your opinion. It’s a bleak and rather thick opinion but I wouldn’t say weird is the word I’d use to describe it. Are you still full bore on the weed theses days har?
It’s an opinion based on my interactions with various makes & models of the fuckers.
The weed situ is bleak, quality supply is non existent so i am clean 5 weeks now.

As I said I only hear about traveler issues through the media so your frequent first hand experience has molded your opinion.

Like fuck am i off it. As soon as Howard gets a Grade A load in i will be happily hazed again. Why would someone ever give up natures delicious givings?
Sorry mate:oops:. Plough on.
It really is a beautiful culture they have. What the fuck were they arguing about anyway. Fucking scatterbrains.
The days of finding an alright tinker are pretty much long gone. There used to be an aul buck around Laois who’d walk or cycle the roads year in year out when I was very young. His name escapes me now, but I think it was Lukey Wall or something like that. He’d always be calling into houses, folks would give him a cup of tea and a bite to eat, he’d do a bit of mending of tin etc. He was a proper tinker, actually had a bit of a craft to him, as harmless and decent a buck as you’d find, he was welcome at any door in the land and is still remembered warmly around the place.
Not like the cunts going around nowadays, expecting handouts and going screaming to Pavee Point one minute, and terrorising and robbing auld folks living along the next. The 1% is getting smaller and smaller.
You’re spot on with the name. Lukey Wall was a harmless oul divil.
Any comment from Pavee Point? Will be interesting what positive spin they put on this.
