The majority of local people living in the area support the eviction however according to radio station phone-ins.
Before she left, Redgrave was treated to a slap-up meal of bacon and cabbage by Mary Ann McCarthy.
“What they can learn from us is how to be more friendly to one another,” said McCarthy. “Our doors are open 24/7. We welcome everybody with open hearts.”

As "The Virgin and the Gypsy" star is in the camp she could do us a favour and check how many of the vehicles have valid Road Tax,MOT Test Certs and Insurance! She can assist the income Tax Revenue Dept by checking their tax returns!!! ~~~ may extoll their virtues and attitudes to schooling etc., but ask herself why they never pay a penny- piece contribution to the Society they claim is treating them so badly. (Pray you never find yourself waiting for emergency treatment in a hospital Trauma Unit when they arrive demanding priority care...!!!) .... Okay, I like the romantic notion of an ancient wandering people living off the land free from the shackles of modern society. Trouble with this group is that they demand everything from it - but give nothing to it! Be Free! Be free!! ~ just don't expect the rest of us to pay for it!

She needs to mind her own business. She also supports the so called "Palestinians". Get a life!

Does this now mean Vanessa Redgrave is going to move to Ireland and help out the victims of traitorous Irish Politicians using opinions to steal from Social Welfare Recipients.
