Yes I was born white but because I was born an Irish Traveller in Ireland that meant I would always face Racism.

This stat for such a tiny community should not even be possible. Irish Travellers have been facing an accommodation crisis for decades!

It’s so hard to watch shit about bicycle sheds and Fecking Oasis bullshit while we know that 880 priests abused children in this country.. beat them unconscious and raped them all night long while other kids watched . Fucking holy catholic ireland

Horror upon horror. 308 religious-run schools in the dock. What argument can be made against nationalising these schools? Against separating Church from State in education? Or against seizing assets to provide some small measure of "compensation"? irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4146…

So can we all agree our Irish Free State has failed all of us and we need to work together to build the Ireland that cherishes all our children?

President Higgins this afternoon received Dr Thomas McCann and his wife Beatrice at Áras an Uachtaráin. On Wednesday, Dr McCann became one of the first Irish Traveller men to be awarded a PhD when he received his Doctorate at Maynooth University

A community less than 1% of the overall population of Ireland.. Has stats of 6- 7 times higher suicide rates recorded in 2010.. How has this happened? Why has it not been given urgent attention even by now in 2024? #IrishTravellers

The Commission met in plenary yesterday to discuss the promotion and protection of #HumanRights and #Equality in Ireland Our Commission is made up of diverse people from across society, as Commission Member Rosaleen McDonagh Dr. Rosaleen McDonagh  explains.

Irish Travellers have been failed over and over by our education system. Our stats are facts. Yet we are to blame.. ? Never heard a public outcry ? Media coverage over the decades? We never held the power within the education system or society. Easy to blame us. 🙃

And we still dont!
