The Traveller Equality & Justice Project welcomes the establishment of the ‘Civil Legal Aid Review Group’ by Minister for Justice, Helen McEntee.

Next Friday 29th April at 9:30 in G01 Brookfield Health Science Complex in UCC, the TEJP will host an event launching our report 'Barriers to Justice for Travellers Seeking to Challenge Discrimination: Mapping Traveller 'Rediscrimination' within the Equality System'.

The free event is happening both in-person and online, we would invite anyone with an interest to register to attend via this link.  

Ireland is in the midst of a severe and prolonged housing crisis which has affected every facet of society. However, the effects of this general housing crisis upon the provision and supply of Traveller accommodation has reached critical levels.

The TEJP welcomes the Supreme Court’s landmark decision to overturn a High Court interlocutory injunction granted to Clare County Council, requiring a Traveller family to vacate lands they had been residing at for several years.
