10. Try finding something that's relevant to what you said, then
The first and third links are anecdotal evidence of bigotry against Roma in the Republic of Ireland (provided by the anonymous bigots themselves on the internet); the second is about Romanian asylum seekers and illegal immigration in the Republic, from 11 years ago.

I remind you that you said "It appears that Romanians make a viable attempt to integrate into the socio-economics of Northern Ireland, while the Roma people do not".

Now you say: "My post was to reflect attitudes in Ireland -- not my attitudes". Wrong. Your first post expressed your personal opinion about the Roma people as a whole - that they don't try to integrate with the Northern Irish community. Evidence of bigotry in the Republic is not evidence of unwillingness to integrate in the north.
