We stand in solidarity with the Traveller family in Co.Galway who had their newly allocated home destroyed by fire (thankfully before they had moved in). Racism as seen by this act and comments under news reports show racism alive and well in Ireland.

If Des Bishop was talking about Refugee, LGBT+,African communities or any minority or marginalised group would be national news&outrage from national politicians. However as its Travellers condemnation is far more muted. Last acceptable racism. Credit Martin Beanz Ward for vid.

Over 5 weeks now since @martinbeanz released this video of anti Traveller racism and bigotry from @Desbishop .To best of our knowledge no apologies or response from Mr Bishop. The last acceptable form of racism. No accountability.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined our walk up Knocknarea this morning to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. The walk was done in memory of anyone lost through suicide and in support of anyone experiencing mental health difficulties. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #Sligo #Ireland

We welcome the decision not to appoint Aaron Forde chairperson of @SNNGroup . There needs to be accountability and consequences for those who engage in racist and discriminatory actions, be that in business, politics or wider society. See our statement here

It has been over two months since @fiannafailparty were contacted about their @meathcoco Cllr Damien O Reilly ‘liking anti Traveller racism on Facebook. If this was any other minority or marginalised group action would have been taken long ago. Last acceptable racism.

You may have spotted these in #Sligo recently! We are thrilled with these banners that have been installed as part of our collaboration with @cairdefestival . They are placed at some original sites on which members of Traveller community in Sligo once stayed. #Heritage #Culture
