A Tipperary Traveller representative says there needs to be a focus on improving relations between the settled and travelling communities.
Margaret Casey of the Tipperary Rural Traveller Project has highlighted what she sees as a deepening divide between the two communities in light of Peter Casey’s Presidential campaign.
Comments made by the businessman on a traveller housing settlement just outside Thurles became central to his campaign, with a dramatic increase in support as a result.
Margaret Casey says that attention should now be on rebuilding relations.
