Rosemary Maughan, Irish Traveller Movement speaks on #Traveller employment - 'in 2022 unemployment was 61% for Travellers. Travellers are 10x more likely than white Irish people to face discrimination when seeking work. The time for change was decades ago' #Traveller sTakeTheSeanad

I am thankful for the invite & the on going honour to work with the community, my community, with National Museum of Ireland & remain hopeful of the spaces, places and potentials, that resides not only ahead, but very much in the now.
