Joined June 2022
A community less than 1% of the overall population of Ireland.. Has stats of 6- 7 times higher suicide rates recorded in 2010.. How has this happened? Why has it not been given urgent attention even by now in 2024? #IrishTravellers

Thanks to @NewstalkFM for highlighting link between racism and the suicide crisis in the Traveller community https://t.co/i1P7wiLgrB

According to a study in 2010, just over one in 10 Travellers in Ireland die by suicide - and little research has been done since then.

A plan finally agreed for Spring Lane and Ellis' Yard. ๐๐ Conditions for residents living here is a shame. Something most of us would imagine could only exist in the third world. Inaction is not an option any longer. This evening I hope #CorkCC will never allow this again.

Pleased to see proposed plans for residents of Spring Lane halting site. This is a positive step towards better living conditions for families. Spring Lane has been a traditional Traveller camp for generations & providing safe & well serviced accommodation here is very welcome.
The plan involves redeveloping the whole site โ with Traveller-specific housing in three family-orientated groupings and estate management. Providing off-site accommodation to about half of current residents โย and safe homes for those staying on site. โน๏ธ https://t.co/qinrL0tBYy

In 1989, Spring Lane in Cork opened as a 10-bay halting site. Over 35 years, it became home to more than 50 families. In 2021, the children living there said: "This is hell." "It's like we're forgotten." On Friday, #CorkCC will open a consultation to finally make that right.
