Listen to Siobhan Curran, Roma Project Coordinator and Alex Petrovics, Roma peer researcher, talking to Dil Wickremhasinghe on Global Village, Newstalk. Siobhan and Alex discussed the national needs assessment that is taking place with Roma in Ireland and the impact that they think this will have on Roma in Ireland.

The national needs assessment of Roma is taking place on foot of the recommendation in the Logan report, following the removal of two Roma children from their families.

Pavee Point Traveller and Roma Centre have welcomed this research as a first step to identifying the experiences of Roma across services in Ireland and ensuring equality for Roma in accessing services.
