For those who want to know more about the roots of the endemic discrimination suffered by Gypsies, Travellers and Roma in the UK see this article I wrote with my colleague @TimGclaw in 2019 https://t.co/QWXuzfiE8k
Come celebrate Traveller ethnicity day by booking a ticket to see No Fixed Abode, a play written and performed by Traveller women from @TNC71035 - lots of conversation and plenty friends will be there!
FLAC Managing Solicitor, Sinéad Lucey states that "As well as being extremely important to our clients, these decisions include a number of important clarifications of the provisions of anti-discrimination law." (thread)
We were delighted to meet with Members of the @tejpucc Traveller Equality and Justice Project in @UCC to discuss the Commission's legal work and hear issues affecting the Traveller Community. #YourRights
LISTEN: FLAC Managing Solicitor, Sinéad Lucey will be on @RTENewsAtOne at around 13:20 to discuss these decisions.
FLAC's Christopher Bowes will be on @radiokerry at 13:30 to discuss the cases and the role of @tejpucc in promoting access to justice for Travellers in Cork & Kerry
Really pleased to see anti-Traveller discrimination like this called out. Cases like this are all too commonplace. WRC rightly connecting this type of racism with the systemic discrimination & segregation of Travellers in Eire. Well done to @flacireland@tejpucc and the family!
Wonderful to meet friends and colleagues at yesterday's @tejpucc report launch. Lots achieved and more to be done in equal access to justice. Huge congrats to everyone on the project 👏
👏👏👏At last! Anyone who has read the damning report of @OCO_ireland Ombudsman for Children ‘No end in site’ will know that this news is long overdue. The refurbishment of the Spring Lane halting site will make a major difference to the lives of Traveller children and families.
Exciting news! 🎊
12.68 million euros approved for the Spring Lane redevelopment project
With 12 three-bedroom units in bays and a fantastic new group housing scheme with 15 detached residential units in Ellis Yard
