Thanks to @CatuIreland for such a well organised day of solidarity and inclusion on Saturday
Today we marched for access to accommodation that is affordable, habitable and culturally adequate for Travellers & Roma and for all communities affected by the homeless crisis. Home is a human right. We’ll keep speaking out together until that right is realised for all.
Pavee Point encourages all Traveller organisations, groups working with Roma and other community organisations to attend the protest today, Saturday 5th July, at 1pm, and to amplify the voices of those whose basic human right to housing is being denied.

🏳️🌈 Happy #DublinPride! As we revel in the colour and joy, let’s remember Pride began as protest, a demand for equality, inclusion and respect. Progress matters only when no one is left behind. The fight goes on, and I hope this weekend is another bright step forward. 🌈
Wishing everyone a great day tomorrow for the 2025 Dublin Pride Parade
Following years of campaigning, First Minister of Scotland apologises for the ‘Tinker Experiments’. While this acknowledgement is important and welcome, it must be followed by concrete actions to address racism that Travellers face today. youtube.com/watch?v=fcRLsV…
Presidents Higgins' Garden Parties are a meaningful recognition of individuals and organisations whose work makes a positive impact in their community. We were so proud to see the contributions of our Traveller Community Health Workers acknowledged with an invite last week.
Very moved by the work on exhibit at the launch of Nenagh Traveller Womens’ Quilt Project with @TipperaryETB at @NenaghArts today.
