As most of Galway celebrated the City’s arts festival, an Irish Times news report yesterday highlighted the work of one of Galway city’s CDPs – the Galway Traveller Movement – to stand with the community against cultural oppression. While thousands of people planned parties, some families faced eviction.
A report launched two years ago by the Galway Traveller Movement found people were very proud to be Travellers, despite the discrimination they face.
