A paper on the subject entitled “The origins of the Irish Travellers and the genetic structure of Ireland” concludes that “the Travellers are undoubtedly of Irish ancestry, due to their proximity to the centroid. Furthermore, the Travellers clustered with several heterogeneous counties in Ireland, including Wexford and Westmeath. Therefore, these data support that the origin of the Travellers was not a sudden event; rather a gradual formation of populations. Indeed, the Travellers probably originated with craftsmen and artisans forced to leave their monasteries (Crawford 1975). Later, their population grew as they were joined by various Irish groups that were forced to leave their homes because of various calamities and political upheavals (i.e. the potato famine and the repression of British occupation) (Crawford 1975). However, the timing of the Traveller origin is not certain and may have predated the historical period (e.g. Ni Shuinear 1996).” read full story / add a comment

H.E. Mary Mc Aleese, President of Ireland, an Uachtaran has called [as is her perogative under the constitution (a.k.a. the little blue book)] a meeting of the Council of State to consider and moot the proposals of the Mammy Harney who maybe some day a "Granny Harney"' :- that pensioners of the 2nd richest state in the EU forced to pay 80% of their state pensions to the cost of public nursing homes. (The 2nd richest state in the EU bit is standard PD propaganda and media manipulation). This is reading and optional video material suitable for intermediate and upper intermediate level, standard Irish media accent. Just follow the link and download the national broadcasting networks audio file and watch the Irish TV. This is also educational material suitable for "civics" students and those abroad who are considering living or working in the EU state of Ireland. there may be a test issued later, we're not on holidays yet. read full story / add a comment
