- How do the Travellers fit into Irish society?
‘Discovery’ looks at the plight of Travellers in Ireland. The programme visits two campsites to see how their communities live.
These are Irish families, Irish faces. Maybe the purist Irish that there are.
This extract from the programme shows Travellers at a roadside camp and describes the culture of begging that exists in the Travelling community as almost the only education they will ever have.
The programme looks at education and the general treatment of Travellers by the rest of society. Members of the Travelling community describe their living conditions, and the treatment they experience at the hands of settled people.
Brian Cleeve also provides a brief history of the Travellers and their way of life.
These are Itinerants. To their enemies, tinkers, trash. To their few friends they are the travellers. The people of the roads...
One farmer, on whose land the “tinkers” have settled describes them as “an awful nuisance”.
Peter Kennerley, producer of ‘Discovery’, wrote an article for the RTV Guide ahead of the broadcasting of the programme on Telefís Éireann.
It's about time now that more Irish travellers were given human rights within Irish society as well.
They lovly when i was yong if you treated them rite they wrre do thankfull god bless them all ❤❤❤
My ancestors from my father's side were travalers. My grand father was also a officer in the Auxiliary too
as a traveller I do find these videos especially interesting. thank you for uploading this. I really appreciate it.
Sounds like the tinkers get Munsoned a lot
@@marcdavis4509 big ern would agree too.

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
I can't imagine how hard it must have been sleeping in those tents ... so cold.
Not as cold as the tent's today, they had fire and food.
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. ❤️
@@katieq7210 I love your true story, it shows that some cared a lot, others feared the unknown,some settled people were also poor yet the poorest are the most generous
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
God bless them people very hard times to live in... Can't imagine the cold in those tents and a life of uncertainty...
Bigoted hypocrite!
When travellers used actually travel
You say this as we have a choice😂
Travellers still would if the local councils and police didn’t harass them everywhere they settled for a few weeks
@@tdoran616 well said
@@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 UA-cam. Every town in Ireland has the worst breed of travellers and when we can live like them we will have an equal society.
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
They are victims of our wrong doing in an informal manner!
@@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
God bless the travellers.
I remember all that in Bestfield Carlow at the time……..
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
What’s the name of the tin whistle tune ?
can't hear the audio.
A good narrator told it like it is
some thing's never change 😂😂😂
True there's still little bitches that discriminate against people but wouldn't actually have a pair of balls between their legs to say it to their face 😅funny old world we live in 😅

How can eney make their lives so hard for them. Thay r not all bad, thay just want to live there life s. And just get bye on wot thay can Reaspet all life
Lepricorn! ♥️
we beg all the time .. but we have just changed its name (work)
All I can say is,, they deserve their reputation,, no doubt about it.
Martin what about your reputation, You sound like a hard heard hearted person but I could be very wrong
@@jamesbradshaw3389 your heart is hardened when your pockets are lightened
Racism man, believe it or not.
Martin I would nearly put money on it you don't actually know one Traveller, or gypsy if you are in England?? Not one I'd say...

Good on you Mary, You have got that right
God is good..God blesses the alcoholic the children and the Irish..
Equality is a communist myth.
Or, more than Equal? Didn't it say: "... perhaps, the purest Irish?"
I have not a good word to say about the traveling community just look at the crime data
This is a very uneducated statement to make
@@eileenhavern77 says the liberal fool who's head is buried in the sand
How Irish people view Travellers today is how many people around the English-speaking world used to view Irish people in general.
A minority of people perhaps.
The Irish worked very hard, and so became a big success.
😂 “The Irish worked very hard.”
The Irish always combed their hair though..so
@@yankeeskunkee8519 Not their eyebrow hair though.
@@annehebert510 focus on your nose hair Anne...judge not
Quite the musicians, eh?
Things have only gotten worse since then...
True, their basic needs are being met with all that social welfare but a culture of early school leaving still remains. Without an education, what prospects would you have outside of nefarious ones?
@@25pappy you don't have to go to school to be educated, modern qualifications do not even get a living wage job for most. Two income's to struggle.
Big time... since the laws banned these people from living their style of life..
@@tommercury3349 unfortunately so. And who are their primary educaters? Their parents, who are teaching their kids how to earn by illegal means and playing the social welfare system. It's a generational problem
And now a days ya never hear of a traveller barely they lasted for 100s of years now there history is gone because we’re made selltle and that killed the pure Irish traveller
I feel so sorry for the farmer. Farming is hard enough without dealing with this nonsense.
They would’ve worked for the farmer. It was very common for farmer to seasonally hire Travellers.
Weren't combs invented yet?

The plastic bucket has a lot to answer for
