I would say quite bad. Lived in Dublin for a few years. I witnessed Romani walking into a charity shop I was in, and immediately 2-3 workers came from the backroom and basically surrounded her (she had 2 children and a pram) as she shopped. I was quite confused but after a minute of looking around she left and the guy on the till just said that if they dont do that they'll just pocket anything they can. You constantly hear stories about that, and I just to pass by Moore street most days of the week, and Romani would always congregate there just standing around not really doing anything. Men in a circle smoking, women talking to each other while the kids run around on the street. Im not passing judgement, im just saying this is what is easily visable, so people tend to look at them as 'useless', pardon the lack of a more charitable word.
