Any other Travellers or Romany people on here? #IrishTraveller #romany

@MinceirBeoir this means you will be a leader for the group on Mastodon. I don’t know much about #IrishTraveller issues beyond public health but I look forward to learning more from you.

#IrishTraveller men die 15yrs younger with a suicide rate 7 x higher. Really hope this research save lives and those in power actually implement its recommendations.

I feel like a lost voice here as an #IrishTraveller very little engagement ..

Ireland has always been a racist country. Ask any #IrishTraveller right through our State and its organs back out to wider society.

Last minute invites to me as an #IrishTraveller is not inclusion.

Guess what ? I do not accept them. I respect myself and what I am trying to do. ✊️

#IrishTraveller men die 15yrs younger than their non Traveller counterparts.

Suicide rates 7 x higher
83% unemployment rate.

In 2022 Cork Printmakers began a programme to support artists from marginalised communities, one of those artists is Leanne McDonagh from the travelling community. Today she returned to our studio with six young artists from the Travellers Visibility Group in Cork, to introduce them to printmaking and teach them how to create and develop their own work around identity  with some great results.

I need your help to support my activism. I never had a voice as a Traveller child, youth, adult until I fought for my voice.

#IrishTraveller

It looks like I could be the only #IrishTraveller here yet so I really need allies to boost my posts to create visibility and more solidarity.

I only joined #IrishTwitter during first Covid19 lockdown managing to reach thousands upon thousands of people with my activism. Now it feels like I have to start all over again. I hope it goes just as well here.

Am I the first #IrishTraveller on here yet ? Or where are all the Mincéirí ? 😀

Have not been feeling good last few days but today has been a great lift seeing so many #IrishTraveller students and parents celebrating their #LeavingCert2022 results.
Yet we do not value education 🙈
