"I'm talking about Ireland and not Britain. "
There are a few incidents of violent crime here, not that many, but basically the same applies - a minority of criminals
I really don't know where this is coming from
If a settled person commits a crime nobody associates it to the community as a whole
If a Traveller commits a crime it is identified as a Traveller crime andfd the press makes a meal of it

A couple of examples of how Travellers are treated - under the law, to keep it in context
In 2006 a farmer was tried and convicted of 'executing' a Traveller
The Traveller was trespassing on his farm, it was presumed, with the intention of burgling the home
The Farmer caught him standing in the yard, went for a shotgun, shot him and seriously wounded him
He then took a fence pole and beat him severely
Leaving him lying badly wounded on the ground, went in to his house, reloaded his shotgun, came out and administered the coupe-de-grace, killing him
The farmer was convicted of manslaughter, but the sentence was dismissed on appeal

As far as the law is concerned, there is no justice for Travellers

Your last sentence makes your own position quite clear and shows I am wasting my time
I have no intention of talking to deaf ears - bye
