People are being encouraged to take part in one of many online events that are taking place this Monday, March 1 to mark Irish Traveller Ethnicity Day at NUI Galway. It is four years since Travellers in Ireland were formally recognised as an ethnic minority by the State.
Over the course of the day a diverse range of events will be happening including music, storytelling, exhibitions and live panel discussions amongst others. Contributors on the day include Senator Eileen Flynn, Minister Simon Harris, singer songwriter Thomas McCarthy and Sharon Gmelch who with her husband George as anthropologists in 1971 spent a year in 1971 living in a barrel top wagon with the Traveller community in Dublin.
