Limerick Traveller Network & Exchange House give examples of what made a positive difference - being able to focus on Traveller Culture for CBA project, special occasions like Traveller Ethnicity Day created feeling of belonging #SchoolAttendance Camilla Fitzsimons 🇵🇸

Glorious day for canvassing.

There is no amount of policing or law and order measures that will mitigate against the lack of facilities these kids have missed out on to grow talents, find hobbies and engage meaningfully in their community. We continue to perpetuate poverty.

Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted

Lesley Byrne Schools should provide these themselves. Plenty of parents would contribute. 8am pick up and allow workers to work. This system is used in many countries to great effect, esp the younger ones who can’t get public transport or cycle.

Lesley Byrne 100% this! It costs the bones of a grand to take our youth theatre outside Limerick to festivals and events and that's through a broker. We're having to say no to opportunities

Lesley Byrne Quoted €500 last year to bring a class of 20 kids a couple of miles up the road and back. 🤯

Lesley Byrne Yes absolutely. 6 children in my class plus 6 adults for a small journey €240

Lesley Byrne I was quoted 500 euro for a bus to bring two classes from Citywest to Blessington.

Lesley Byrne Lesley this is stopping the stem Passport from running effectively

The cost of hiring buses is making school activities prohibitive.

Crumlin to Ringsend €250
Crumlin to Ballyfermot €220

for a 16 seater bus.

This needs to be regulated.

It’s great to have an event like this is Ireland… but unfortunately it is prohibitively expensive.

Public/Active transport activists simply cant afford the thousand euro tickets, but car lobbyists can

Great to have my sister out canvassing with me tonight in Loughlinstown. She lives in London and is a teacher. She is happy there but the reality is if she wanted to come home she’d have to move back to her childhood bedroom. This is true for so many.

Too many people are collateral damage

The Leas Ceann Comhairle & one of our finest parliamentarians, Catherine Connolly won't be supporting Simon Harris today.
