Very rare you'll see a travelling site in Dublin these day's, mores the pity. Their site's and their sounds are missing from our landscapes these days. In and around Dublin city centre sites were dotted around, no longer.In general I don't know their overall situation in Ireland in regards to housing employment don't know. All I know is their not around on sites that once was, where are they gone. Are they happy are they settled or still on sites what's becoming of the Irish traveler. I grew up around traveller families all my life. My way, I treat everyone the way I find them 27,11,2023.✌️ ☘️🎅. I

Some nice photos. The narrative is a little simplified. One big issue that you might look at in future years is the Abuse of Women and Children. I thought you might develop the point you yourself made about females from toddler age encouraged to dress and act provocatively. Look for the stories of woman who have been maimed and beaten by their husbands or their husbands families and percentages in comparison not just to settled people but to minorites in other countries. Represent a minority within a minority. Traveller women have the hardest lives. Not the men

There are far more than 40,000 Irish travellers 35000 went to Appleby this year. if there are only 40000 why are people so bothered about us? I am not Chloe

I'm a Irish traveller and lived on the roads in the 70s. It was a hard life, we once stoped in a place in Tulamore, Co, Offly and whent to school run by HOLY Nuns, they were cruel and beat us all the time.we weren't allowed to mix with the other children at brake time and locked in a room at lunch time and given a cup of tea and a piece of bread with jam on it. Are parents took us out of the school over the bruising and reported it, nothing was done. We are a proud people and have been discriminate all are lives, from the Holy church too the settled community . Last year in Ireland there was over 22 suicides in young traveller children, all down to school bullying, The rate is much higher in England. We will never be excepted, we are now a Ethnic minority in a Country that once apone a time before Oliver Cromwell . we where the Majority.🙏🇮🇪🙏

When Ireland was colonized by Oliver Cromwell, the people were treated like dirt and given a British colonization programme that sadly still runs to this Day. We where once the Majority, now we are classed as a Ethnic minority Oliver Cromwell done his work good.

Wonderful presentation, thanks for sharing this wonderful information and collection. I had the privilege of going to the Puck fair last year and get a deep sense of this living breathing community of the Travellers.

Great video didn't you other pictures to

My daughter is married to an Irish Traveler, in UK , they have rights here , my Grandson learnt to drive at 7 with blocks on his shoes , had his own cars since age 9 . He’s a model for Burberry now and left school recently age 12 , I’m so glad he left the cabal school. I don’t think British Travelers are Catholic. Here they are very clean and well dressed , better than most . This man doesn’t speak for British travelers. This isn’t factual he’s completely wrong on many facts .

Nice to take some romantic photographs and leave, however, If you had to live alongside these characters, your opinions would be very different.

The Irish are such a fascinating people. All groups of them. Such a beautiful country

Great film. There are wagon makers in England, they're not Irish travellers, but folk who have gone into living in wagons over the last 30 years. Hippy travellers. So, all is not lost with wagon making. The skills and makers are there.

Thanks Bob for sharing use thank you so much 😊

Bob, in Scotland they are also a Celtic native traveling minority, they share the very same customs and tradition as the Irish travelers, just like the Irish travelers they broke off the mainstream Scottish population 100s of years ago. It would be a good project to come to Scotland and see the Scottish travelers sometime too. A lot of people forget that Scotland also has its own none Romany nomad minority.

You have presented this beautifully. life for irish Travellers is very hard both in the past and present. Discrimination is a little less obvious because of laws in place, but it is also very much alive and is one of many factors for suicide within the Traveller community.A lot of Travellers are very talented people in the past they made beautiful wagons, tinware,and were gifted horse men loved their animals and still do.Traveller women in the past wore a pocket a type of purse,which was beautifully decorated with buttons, embroidered with different designs.A lot of Travellers are highly intelligent, although they might not have education, just because you have education does not mean you have intelligents.within all societies you have does that like to look down on others,it makes individuals like them feel important, when they look down upon people that they feel are a lesser type of human.All humans came into this world the same way, and they will leave it the same way.God the father in heaven will be the final judge amen.

Irish Traveller, we are Gales and there is lot written history my friend. Nice pictures

Rathkeele, Newbridge, Tallaght, Murphy Village among others is all one needs to know about "traveller culture".

They don't want you to take pictures of their homes because they're worth a lot more than their state funded incomes would cater for!! "They don't need to be fixed" nope, they just want to continue living tax free but tax funded. Did you see the abandoned housing estate purpose built for them in North Cork on your travels? Cost the state millions and prevented a huge employer in the area from expanding and creating more jobs for locals. They took the keys, stripped all the heating and hot water systems, solar systems, copper piping etc. and left! Complained that their was no stables built for their horses... These same horses are regularly found starved and beaten on the road side in the same area. Don't be fooled by the "It's our culture" line....

Omg you have it so wrong Bob

I visited Ireland as a boy in 1972. We asked for directions and they asked us for some "loose change." They were called tinkers at that time and traveled in wagons. I just remember that the kids had bright red hair. I often wondered if they were still around.

I remember you came to us in bally knock the picture with the hand you and Joseph

Thanks, Bob for sharing this. Some great photos and insight.
