Travellers experience direct and indirect discrimination at the individual and institutional levels.To a very large extent Travellers both in Ireland and France are excluded from the mainstream labour market and therefore long-term unemployment amongst Travellers is high.This is partly explained by the decline of traditional areas of economic activity and employment, such as scrap metal, horse and market trading, due in part to a changing economic climate exacerbated by restrictive legislation in certain sectors. Disadvantages in other areas of life including education, health and accommodation also enforce this dynamic of exclusion. This report highlights the learning from the EQUAL experience in France and Ireland.

The CD is a recording by Professor Tony Knowland of rare tracks performed by the Raineys in Freeneys Pub in Letterfrack Connemara in 1956. This collection is the only known recording of the Raineys and it is the first time their music has been recorded on a C.D.

Social programmes targeting Travellers were initiated by the Report of the First Government Commission on Itinerancy, published in 1963. The Commission's terms of reference were: "to enquire into the problems arising from the presence...of itinerants and...to examine the...problems inherent in their way of life" (CI Report, 1963, p 11).
Travellers have been the 'objects' of official policy since then. A key issue in shaping social policy and practice has been the way in which Travellers' identity is conceptualised. The Report illustrates the dichotomy between official policy and actual practice and illustrates the difficulties that Travellers encounter in trying to integrate into Irish society.

Travellers are probably the most marginalised community in Irish society. The negotiating structures developed to discuss the next National Agreement must be as inclusive as possible. Pavee Point urges that a specific mechanism is developed to ensure that Traveller organisations can be party to the negotiations on a New Agreement that differs from the approach that was adopted in the past.
Pavee Point proposes an intercultural strand under the new National Agreement which would provide a mechanism for the inclusion of a broad range of interests related to cultural and ethnic diversity in Ireland, including migrants and refugees and asylum seekers.

The Directory of Services was designed to provide information for the Travellers living in the Finglas and Blanchardstown area. While it has information about health like the GP's, Nurses, Dentists, Chemists, Hospitals etc., it also has other information like Schools, Adult Education and Employment Services and many other valuable information which would be very helpful for the residents in the area. It was compiled by the Traveller PHC workers considering the low literacy levels among the Traveller population. The sections are colour coded for ease of use.
