Very interesting. You are a legend. Im American but my Irish grandmother use to always talk about the travelers but called them politically incorrect names. I genuinely think she feared her family would become them. It was very odd. But she talked about them so much I would die to meet one

[@jakej2256]

It's about time now that more Irish travellers were given human rights within Irish society as well.

[@JaythePandaren]

My ancestors from my father's side were travalers. My grand father was also a officer in the Auxiliary too

[@aristotlechange1424]

I know these folk they came to my door and we gave help for some luck you understand not. They are the kings of the land they are my folk they are brave god fearing folk that will not see me as I walk amongst them, they will not see the leprechaun dancing on the palm of my hand as such things are for me alone. As I flutter my butterfly wings so you shall feel the storm in all Ireland I shed a tear now for my country I must fly but do not be caught napping when I walk amongst you soon oh so soon. Love OM OM OM

I can't imagine how hard it must have been sleeping in those tents ... so cold.

[@tommercury3349]

Not as cold as the tent's today, they had fire and food.

[@katieq7210]

My late mother loved to tell the story as a little girl when out walking with her father coming upon a family and their tent. The father spoke and told my grandfather that his wife just had a new baby. Mammy said he invited them to look into the tent...there lying was a very pretty lady and a beautiful new baby ❤️ they were very happy. ❤️

I am American but my Irish grandmother use to call us Tinkers when we misbehaved. The sad part was I think she was completely genuine and concerned we would tern into lessers if we did not keep up appearances

@@tdoran616 harass them? I suppose for no reason. By fuck whatever about the old travellers the new breed over the last 40 years should never be allowed anywhere. Don't bother with a reply as we all see the joyce Nevin and other travellers on KZbin. Every town in Ireland has the worst breed of travellers and when we can live like them we will have an equal society.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

What a great, pretty and handsome person. they were very poor yet were rich in heart and soul, If I was born a traveler |I would have stolen to help feed my family and people0 Those people were looked down on by some, I recall a time when trenches were dug in grass verge on to the edge of the road by a farmer so the travelers could not return to their old camping ground, that same man complained about my family because we looked over his walls and we steal some of his lovely big cooking apples. No the traveling people were not perfect but the same applied to the settled people. Very good people on both sides with some troublemakers mixed in, Just people

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

@@caracortage3270 That is not how it started, why would anyone give a helping hand to the poor, the less well off, those people who were forced out of their homes and of their own lands, I know that some of the modern-day travelers do wrong and that is not right but remember not everyone is the same, always give people a chance and if they do wrong then you challenge that person not a whole group of people

How Irish people view Travellers today is how many people around the English-speaking world used to view Irish people in general.

[@stuartkelly3106]

A minority of people perhaps. The Irish worked very hard, and so became a big success.
