I pissed myself at one of the comments that said four brothers, one of them's in a balaclava, wouldn't take a genius to work out who he is hahahah

And they bang on about being 'Manchester born and bread' yet speak in some comedy father ted Irish accent, very odd indeed.

Fine. But Tommy Joyce says he’s born and bred in Manchester?
So is he a Mancunian traveller or an Irish Traveller on the census?

Listen it makes no odds at all.


My point is, I know the heritage and history of dispossession from which they supposedly originate.
But putting Irish in front of the noun like it’s a recognised trait of the whole population is not something I’m blaming Britain on, but for third/fourth generation travellers in Britain I really see it a superfluous to the characteristics they portray.
They are what they are regardless.
If there’s decent individuals in any group treat them accordingly.
Totally up to you individually if you would go as far as trusting them however.

Pointless pedantry. Irish travellers is usually used to differentiate between the gypsies and the Roma.

He's whatever he says he is, if he lives in a caravan, he probably isn't on the census. It's possible that he's illiterate, most leave school by the time they are 12.

It's not Irish culture it's travellers culture.

Your comment is irrelevant to my point.
Being born here does not give you British citizenship no matter how long you are here.

I was talking about their parents. I'm well aware of British Nationality law. It was also a joke. Hence the smilie face.

Most Irish Travellers are British though, aren't they?

Living in a caravan, leaving school and out on the rob by 12.

What a wonderful culture, it rivals the great renaissance.

A child is automatically a British citizen by birth if they are born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or has settled status.



Just saying.

The qualifying criteria is a British parent.
Being born here counts for nothing.

Just saying clever dick.

In neither the U.K. nor Eire does birth confer citizenship.

Not quite true. The constitution changed back in 2005. If you were born in Ireland before 1st of January 2005 then you are automatically an Irish citizen. I don’t know about the UK.

Irish citizenship when you are born abroad​

If either of your parents was born in Ireland and was an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, you are automatically an Irish citizen by birth.

If the parent through whom you are entitled to Irish citizenship was deceased at the time of your birth, but would have been an Irish citizen if alive at that time, you are an Irish citizen.

Irish citizen parent born outside Ireland​

If you were born outside of Ireland and your parent (who was also born outside of Ireland) was an Irish citizen or entitled to be an Irish citizen at the time of your birth, then you are entitled to become an Irish citizen.

To claim Irish citizenship, you must have your birth registered in the Foreign Births Register, unless your parent was abroad in the public service at the time of your birth. If you are entitled to register, your Irish citizenship is effective from the date of registration – not from the date when you were born.
