I was schooled with knackers (Irish travellers) for the first 3 years of my education, big smelly pikies who used to fight everyday in the yard. War would break out between the knacks and the settled people.
My folks got me out of their when the realised what a hole the place was and I educated in decent schools from there on.
In Ireland private education can be quite expensive.
Knackers?..My parents are from Co.Mayo & Donegal, Where r u from that this kinda thing went on? I wish my parents were still around,I'd ask them about it.
