    Traveller family lose school admission case

    A Traveller family have lost an appeal against a Christian Brother school in Clonmel which they claimed had discriminated against their son when it refused him admission.

    Great news. Let them live in a house like everyone else and quit trying to be an "ethnic minority" and behave themselves and it will do wonders for their discrimination.

    Have you missed something? Travellers generally don't live in houses, the clue is in the name.

    They were using their traveler "status" to jump the queue.

    They should. Or at least they should cease their nomadic lifestyle. It is doing them and their children no favours.

    No doubt this will go to the ECHR - probably funded by Pavee Point via taxpayers.

    I'd like to know if this educational CLUB for the children of ex-members is receiving state funding?
