To raise awareness of the bullying Gypsy and Traveller children suffer we have published a children's book, 'I'm not allowed to play with you anymore'. This is based on the experience of an Irish Traveller we work with. #AntiBullyingWeek

“I am not going to be a senator that is politically correct all the time. I didn’t get the high education some people in here did. So I don’t sugar things up and I say things as I see them. I will always be true to me."

‘Feeling that rejection in society, it’s horrible,’ says first Traveller woman in Oireachtas

‘I know I can’t speak for other marginalised communities, but I want to speak with them,’ says Eileen Flynn

We know there's been a spike in racist abuse following Channel 4’s whitewash of a documentary. Police have a duty under the Equality Act to protect all communities from hate speech, including Romany Gypsy and Irish Traveller communities.

Just today we heard about a woman who missed her child's medical appointments because the letters were never delivered to her site. The child was put into child protection plan for neglect. The woman couldn't cope with the shame and took her own life.

Ok fair do's when you arent settled, but it should be a criminal offence not to deliver to a site and the post should be delivered as addressed to every door as with houses.

We are so very saddened to hear of the death of George Ward - known and loved by many as drag queen Cherry Valentine. George was a trailblazer for LGBT+ Travellers and created visibility for mental health issues, he will be deeply missed.
