ITMB act as a bridge builder bringing the Traveller communities, service providers and policy makers together, stimulating debate and promoting forward-looking strategies to promote increased race equality, civic engagement, inclusion, service provision and community cohesion. For further information about ITMB visit www.irishtraveller.org.uk 1. Introduction and background In December last year, the first ever census figures for the population of Gypsies and Irish Travellers in England and Wales were released. In all 54,895 Gypsies and Irish Travellers in England and 2,785 in Wales were counted.1 While the Census population is considerably less than previous estimates of 150,000-300,000 it is important to acknowledge that tens of thousands of community members did identify as Gypsies and Travellers. In the absence of a robust figure as a comparator to the census, the ITMB undertook research to estimate a minimum population for Gypsies and Travellers in England, based on Local Authority Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessments (GTAA)2 and the Department for Communities and Local Government bi-annual Caravan Count. Definitions of Gypsies and Travellers For the purposes of this report it is important to understand the varying definitions of Gypsies, Irish Travellers and other Travelling groups in official data sources.

CHAPTER 7 Irish Renaissance Kathleen Heininge ritics have several names for the movement that took place in Ireland at the turn of the twentieth century. Each name seems to Csuggest a different interpretation of the events at that time, and each interpretation, in turn, reflects a different idea of Ireland’s relation- ship with the rest of the world. The Irish Revival, a term most often used to discuss the literary movement, implies that the greatness of a people can be resuscitated after it has been nearly lost, and is thus a term in keeping with a nationalist agenda. The Celtic Twilight, a term coined by W. B. Yeats, is a more sentimental and mystical rendering that suggests the illu- mination and reinterpretation of a previously underappreciated culture, and is a term in keeping with the transition from a romanticized concept of tradition to a modernist consciousness.

  • Pavee Point Fact Sheet for ICCPR
    UN Human Rights Committee 111th session: Ireland (14/15 July 2014) Factsheet: Traveller and Roma rights in Ireland ________________________________ Travellers and Roma in Ireland There are approximately 36,000 Travellers living in the Republic of Ireland. Travellers are one of the most marginalised and excluded groups in Irish society. Traveller unemployment is at 84%, life expectancy is over 10 years less than the national population and suicide rates are over 6 times the national average. There is an estimated 5,000 Roma living in Ireland. There is no official Government data in relation to the population of Roma in Ireland. Many Roma in Ireland are living in poverty due to a lack of access to work and restrictive social welfare measures. Some Roma have to beg to survive. For those who are unable to find employment or access supports, options include reliance on charities and family or ‘voluntary repatriation’ to country of origin. The Irish Government was required by the European Commission to develop a Roma and Traveller integration strategy. However, Ireland’s strategy is inadequate and was developed with no involvement of Roma or Travellers. It contains no goals, targets, indicators, timeframes or funding mechanisms and has no reference to human rights. Recommendation: Develop a progressive National Traveller and Roma Integration Strategy, in line with human rights commitments. ________________________________ Traveller Ethnicity Despite the recommendation of many UN treaty monitoring bodies and European human rights bodies, the Irish Government still does not acknowledge Travellers as a minority ethnic group. This reflects the persistence of a mindset that legitimatises flawed policies and practice, which seek to assimilate Travellers and undermine human rights.

Provoking Performance: Challenging the People, the State and the Patriarchy in 1980s Irish Theatre Candidate: Patricia O’Beirne Supervisor: Dr. Ian Walsh School: School of Humanities Discipline: Drama and Theatre Studies Institution: National University of Ireland, Galway Submission Date: August 2018 Summary of Contents: Provoking Performance: Challenging the People, the State and the Patriarchy in 1980s Irish Theatre This thesis offers new perspectives and knowledge to the discipline of Irish theatre studies and historiography and addresses an overlooked period of Irish theatre. It aims to investigate playwriting and theatre-making in the Republic of Ireland during the 1980s. Theatre’s response to failures of the Irish state, to the civil war in Northern Ireland, and to feminist and working-class concerns are explored in this thesis; it is as much an exploration of the 1980s as it is of plays and playwrights during the decade. As identified by a literature review, scholarly and critical attention during the 1980s was drawn towards Northern Ireland where playwrights were engaging directly with the conflict in Northern Ireland. This means that proportionally the work of many playwrights in the Republic remains unexamined and unpublished.

  • UK Gypsies and Travellers and the Third Sector Dr Andrew Ryder
    Third Sector Research Centre Working Paper 63 UK Gypsies and Travellers and the third sector Dr Andrew Ryder July 2011 Working Paper Working 63 July 2011 Abstract This paper explores the development of the UK Gypsy and Traveller third sector and details factors which have impeded development. This includes a lack of resources and skills but also illustrates how in recent years important progress has been made in community development. The paper concludes that the current cutbacks and reduction in resources for community development, combined with new policies that Gypsies and Travellers perceive as being hostile towards them, could undermine progress made. The paper argues that ’positive action’ combined with greater community involvement in service delivery could strengthen the Gypsy and Traveller third sector and foster intercultural dialogue and promote inclusion. Processes evident in other branches of the third sector (McCabe et al., 2010). The paper is relevant to a number of TSRC work streams, particularly ’Below the Radar’ which explores the role, function, impact and experiences of small community action groups or organisations. Keywords Gypsies; Travellers; Roma; third sector; community groups; ethnogenesis. Acknowledgements Andrew Ryder would like to thank Susan Alexander of the Travellers Aid Trust and Angus McCabe and reviewers of the Third Sector Research Centre for their comments and contributions in drafting this paper. The author Dr Andrew Ryder has a long history of work with and for Gypsy Roma Traveller communities. Between 1990 and 2001, Andrew worked as a teacher in state schools and with the British Council and taught Gypsy/Roma children in the UK, Hungary and Portugal.

SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW ON THE ROAD TO RECOGNITION: IRISH TRAVELLERS’ QUEST FOR ETHNIC IDENTITY KAMI KRUCKENBERG* This paper explores and defends Irish Travellers’ efforts to push the Republic of Ireland to recognize them as an ethnic minority group under law. Irish Travellers are a small indigenous minority group who have lived primarily in Ireland for centuries. They rank at the bottom of Irish society in rates of poverty, unemployment, life expectancy, infant mortality, health, education levels, political representation and access, and living conditions. Much like the Roma, with whom they share a nomadic tradition, Irish Travellers are in the midst of a movement to improve living conditions, fight widespread discrimination, and gain recognition as an ethnic minority group.
