Pavee Point Traveller and Roma Centre welcomes last week's publication of the 'Roadmap for Social Inclusion 2026-2030' by @welfare_ie.

Commitment to the development of a successor National Traveller Health Action Plan & extension of the Traveller Brighter Beginnings Initiative..

[Pavee Point @PaveePoint]

Disappointingly, direct reference to a Traveller and Roma Training, Employment, and Enterprise Plan is absent: a key commitment going back to the 2020 Programme for Government, and with implementation scheduled to commence under the second NTRIS II Action Plan (2027-2028).

Discussions also focused on the vision, principles, roles and responsibilities needed to inform a national transitions policy, alongside the delivery and governance structures required to support implementation.

Last week Pavee Point attended the launch of ‘Connecting for Life 2026–2035,’ Ireland’s new national strategy to reduce suicide and self-harm.

As part of Pavee Point’s national work, we were pleased to support @roinnslainte in the development of the strategy and in undertaking consultations with Travellers and Roma.

'Be SunSmart' builds on our longstanding work on cancer prevention, including Traveller proofed resources on the harms of sunbeds and unregulated tanning substances.

The Coalition Against Sunbeds has said that a blanket ban on commercial and residential sunbeds is needed to save lives and reduce diagnoses of melanoma.

5.4% of melanomas directly link to sunbeds & the number of people diagnosed with melanoma is expected to double by 2045.

[Pavee Point @PaveePoint]

This urgent calls from the Coalition Against Sunbeds follows the recent publication of 'Be SunSmart' by Pavee Point &HSE National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP), raising awareness of the serious health risks associated with sunbeds & the unregulated tanning product Melanotan.

Last week, Pavee Point was in attendance at the annual University for All Symposium in UCD Lochlann Quinn School of Business.

[Pavee Point @PaveePoint]

A panel discussion described how policy in Ireland has continued to fail Traveller and Roma people, and that policy initiatives at a national and institutional level need long-term resources that directly involve Travellers and Roma.
