Traveller Peace Pin
The Traveller Peace Pin is available for order from Pavee Point. The Pin, cast in copper with an inlay of white enamel, is designed to be worn primarily by Travellers, but also by Traveller supporters, to promote a culture of peace.
Garda Reserves - can you see yourself in blue?
The reserve section of an Garda Síochána recruits all year round, and is particularly interested in recruiting Travellers. If you've got a few hours free every week, the Reserves would like to hear from you.
The requirements for entry are available on the Garda Reserve Website, and Pavee Point hopes to host an information day with the Gardaí at the end of the summer.

Travellers' Health Matters
This report outlines the findings of research undertaken by Galway Traveller Movement (GTM) between 2007 and 2008 on the health impacts of living on low-grade Traveller accommodation. The research was funded by the Combat Poverty Agency
The site selected was Carrowbrowne halting site in Galway. The site lacked the most basic of facilities such as mains electricity, plumbed water and flush toilets. It was selected as it was felt to be indicative of the conditions for many families living on low grade halting sites in Ireland.
