Traveller Inclusion in a New National Agreement

Travellers are probably the most marginalised community in Irish society. The negotiating structures developed to discuss the next National Agreement must be as inclusive as possible. Pavee Point urges that a specific mechanism is developed to ensure that Traveller organisations can be party to the negotiations on a New Agreement that differs from the approach that was adopted in the past.

Pavee Point proposes an intercultural strand under the new National Agreement which would provide a mechanism for the inclusion of a broad range of interests related to cultural and ethnic diversity in Ireland, including migrants and refugees and asylum seekers.

Traveller Proofing –Within an Equality Framework.

During the deliberations of the Task Force on the Travelling Community (19931995) it became evident that lack of data was a major stumbling block to planning services for Travellers. Since that time Pavee Point has been arguing for the need to collect, collate and analyse data in order to develop and implement policies aimed at improving the situation of Travellers; to evaluate policies and provision ; and to combat discrimination. This publication presents the logic of Traveller Proofing and focuses on health and education and looks at the situation in other countries.
