I'd love to be able to reply to the highlighted bit, but I can't.
All I can say is the "travelers" I have met have been, without exception, among the most polite and respectful people I have ever met
One story that always sticks in my mind......many years ago, there were travelers living in caravans just a few hundred feet from where I was living. One day my car died just where they were, not a kick out of her. A young fella came over and asked if he could help. His father came over after him and between the two of them, they got my car going again. The young fella asked me if I could spare a few pounds for him and received a very quick and sharp clip around the head from his father who told me to ignore him and that he was just happy they could help me.
Just one of many stories of kindness that I could tell, but in an attempt to answer your question I think it's the same as everything in Ireland.....the minority that are a**hole cause the whole community to be tarred with the same brush (reality TV shows don't help either).

I am somewhat confused by your thread,...do I hate travellers? Do I hate the Irish? Do I hate the Irish that travel? Am I annoyed by people who claim high IQ and then do not spell correctly and butcher grammar,.....but I guess your question is regarding the fairness of having to put up with people disliking you when they don't know you,........well....I do not dislike you,....but that might not be fair,...

I don't understand the question? Why should people hate Irish travelers? Travelers, by going on plane,ecc.......??

Next time an Irish traveler knocks on my door and wants to put on a new roof and fix my asphalt drive I'm gonna pay em in advance I am. Yup, I really am.
RoseaBellBlues: please be honest.... I would really like to know peoples pennon on this topic and feel free to ask me any questions
Not at all. The interactions I've had with Travellers have all been the same as with any other Irish person. Had a great night dancing with a group a few months ago
Thx buddy ! I didn't know there were, Scottish, English, Walesh and Irish gypsy's in this world!! The only ones that I knew are Romanians that they are in huge amount in Italy all over the place.
Absolutley Nothing against them as far as they don't bother.
Apparently there is a new trick of them. Watch when you walk down the street. One of them can come across you and drop a ring right in front of you. -ohhh look what I found!!! don't be a foul , the ring is he's. He try's to sell the ring to you !!
Happened to me on champ elysee, but the guy got the wrong guy
I think that you have to be careful, and define what you mean by "travellers" ... Far as I can see there are two distinct groups - genuine travelling communities, and generally these people are quite pleasant and polite as has been said before ... But also there are the "tinkers" (for want of a better word) who in my experience will scam you and rip you off soon as look at you ( asphalt your drive? Fix your roof? Guttering looks a bit dodgy..etc ) ... these people will nick anything that is not nailed down, and half the stuff that is .... In my experience, that is ...
in my area.travellers are responsible for;mistreatment of horses and dogs,drug dealing,burgalrys,loan sharking,assaults,criminal damage,illegal sulky races,illegal dog fights,illegal bare knuckle fights,social welfare fraud.very little is done by the police.the descrimination is there i grant you that.but its there for a reason!!.the traveller people in my area have ruined it through drugs and intimidation.they are the closest .thing in ireland to the italian mafia.they hide behind the mask of being a minority as to not follow the laws of the republic of ireland,an equal state as far as the law applies to all.they are hated and always will be bar by a few easily led people whom they manipulate.this is the truth and i live by it.in saying all this i do not wish to offend you,only to give you the well known view within ireland.

for my canadian freind i should point out that the term "irish traveller"is the name put on the gypsy people in ireland.also new age travellers who live in houses as opposed to caravans which they lived in some years ago and still do but not as much.;)
