Wrinkly Joe: I heard it was bad enough to make a Pavee point.

Mairéad: Don’t know. The promise of sunshine, maybe?

Later in the interview she said they couldn't go back to Romania because conditions there were much worse than on the M50. If A > B and B > C then Romania must be hell on fucking earth !

On my own, you can hear a more, erm, rational idea for preventing this sort of stunt from occurring again.

I've been vaugely following the saga since it made it into the local rag about 3 months ago as a side artical. It seems there was only 25 - 30 or so of them. Then when originaly approached by gardai and immigration maybe a month ago, they were informed that if they left peacefully, they would be set up in temporary shelters. The next thing you know, 60 more of them arrived off a plane 2 weeks later, reports came in that as they were being removed the other day, there was 30 more already on a plane. All from the same extended family... Fuck off, we have our own travellers trying to scam free housing out of us already...
