Tipperary Traveller group welcome granting of ethnic status

In an historic speech in the Dáil last night the Taoiseach said all members of the travelling community will now have a better future with less negativity, exclusion and marginalisation.

Speaking on Tipp Today coordinator of the Tipperary Rural Traveller Project Mags Casey said she hopes it will bring members of the settled and Traveller community closer.

She says the move will be of particular benefit to the next generation of the Traveller community.
