hi every one !! this question has been playing on my mined for some time now. Do every one dislike traveler people?? Its a group off people that live in different parts off the world and they have there own beliefs and speak there own language. i will get bk to that in one moment..........

I'm a Nurse and im very will traveled and meet a lot of cultures, im also very will educated. please don't let my spelling fool you!! I have a High IQ.
when I tell my collage friends/coworkers/ old
boyfriends and so on there is only one look on there faces like this one here -uh oh uh oh !! They say no you work,you don't
smell and you are a lovey woman, how can this be you??
my brother and sisters wear called names for been different and most people didn't understand your Culture.
A lot has came on in the world eg, women be able to vote, black people been able to set where ever they like on a bus,human rights etc,yet traveler people are the highest to be discriminated by in Ireland...that's a fact !! why is this??? Isn't there all good and bad people in all walks off life ?? Is it fair I have to putup with people disliking me when there dont know me??

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 thumbs up

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,...

No, it's not fair.

It's prejudiced and it's ignorant.

This is a good thread topic. Perhaps you could share some of your history, culture, or language with us, if you have the time.

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 dance dancing

kettleson: Irish Travellers {but they dont have to all be Irish }



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 laugh

Thx man thumbs up

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.;)
