Really looking forward to speaking this morning at the ⁦TEJPUCC⁩ ⁦event UCC Ireland⁩ about how lawyers can help Travellers tackle the pervasive discrimination they face in Ireland and why they should do so.

Powerful presentation by Dr Brigid Quilligan TEJPUCC event this morning on the endemic discrimination experienced by Travellers in Ireland today.

Exciting news! 🎊 12.68 million euros approved for the Spring Lane redevelopment project With 12 three-bedroom units in bays and a fantastic new group housing scheme with 15 detached residential units in Ellis Yard #CommunityRevitalisation #Progress redfm.ie/post/e12-68-mi…

👏👏👏At last! Anyone who has read the damning report of Ombudsman for Children Ombudsman for Children ‘No end in site’ will know that this news is long overdue. The refurbishment of the Spring Lane halting site will make a major difference to the lives of Traveller children and families.

The TEJPUCC hosted a Community event in UCC Ireland yesterday, 21 Sept. The event brought together Travellers, legal professionals, and academics to explore the issues faced by Travellers and celebrate the strength and resilience of the Traveller Community. bit.ly/48rlJZi

FLAC Managing Solicitor, Sinéad Lucey states that "As well as being extremely important to our clients, these decisions include a number of important clarifications of the provisions of anti-discrimination law." (thread)

LISTEN: FLAC Managing Solicitor, Sinéad Lucey will be on RTÉ News at One at around 13:20 to discuss these decisions. FLAC's Christopher Bowes will be on Radio Kerry at 13:30 to discuss the cases and the role of TEJPUCC in promoting access to justice for Travellers in Cork & Kerry

Really pleased to see anti-Traveller discrimination like this called out. Cases like this are all too commonplace. WRC rightly connecting this type of racism with the systemic discrimination & segregation of Travellers in Eire. Well done to FLAC TEJPUCC and the family!

Come celebrate Traveller ethnicity day by booking a ticket to see No Fixed Abode, a play written and performed by Traveller women from TNC - lots of conversation and plenty friends will be there!
