From the archives: Clips from a 2011 TV3 documentary called Paul Connolly investigates Ireland's bogus beggars. A number of elected representatives and journalists were interviewed including the editor of the Big Issue. All agreed that Roma had come to Ireland to engage in industrial scale organised begging. Connolly even set up CCTV cameras to capture footage of the ring leaders collecting the day's take. Any Roma interviewed denied it and claimed only some individuals begged because they didn't have access to education and were poor. One woman said she was only pulling in €420 a week in social welfare so was compelled to beg, bless. Thirteen years later and the problem has only grown. They EU Commission estimated that there are now 37,500 Roma living in Ireland when they calculated the funding they deserve. Full documentary on bitchute.com 👉🏻join Late Stage Ireland
