And of course the solution to the traveller problem is obvious and simple but you won’t hear it floated at any official level. In fact it is precisely because of its obviousness and simplicity that it will never be mentioned at an official level.
A traveller colony. Simple as that. Take any one of those uninhabited islands off the west coast and deploy it as a traveller colony. Round them all up and airlift them over.
The freedom to indulge their cultural pursuits seems to be a big aspiration for them so I’m sure they would be only delighted to have their own territory in which to happily ride their cousins, shite in buckets, disfigure the landscape, abuse animals and assault each other with gardening tools.
It’s a win win. The travellers get the sovereignty they apparently crave, the freedom in which to inculcate their children in violence and criminality and the rest of us never have to see, hear or read about them ever again. I don’t see a flaw.
We could even give the place a name (Bridie’s Vineyard), a flag (a black silhouette of a piebald dying of exhaustion over a green background), a national anthem (Blood, Sweat & Wars), and a unit of currency (the Odd) in which to sell laundered fuel to each other.
Not to blow my own trumpet or anything but this is a great idea. Call your TD, get the wheels in motion.
