Victim agenda doesn’t work for Travellers

I WAS somewhat bemused at the conflicting content of two news items concerning Travellers (April 22).

One publicised the formation of a new Travellers’ organisation with an expanded victim agenda that wants an apology from the Irish people for their “neglect” over the years.

The other concerned a scheme of six houses that were built for Travellers at a cost of €2 million in Ennis a few years ago. This scheme has now been partly demolished and the remainder stripped and abandoned by its occupiers, and left to the Ennis ratepayer to secure at a cost of €2,000 a week.
