Title A name given to the resource The Barrel-Top Wagon Collection Description An account of the resource This is a collection of photographs, a booklet and a radio programme that focuses on the barrel-top wagon that is on display in the Toraig on the Tobar, the Traveller culture exhibit at Cork Public Museum. The wagon was commissioned by the Cork Traveller Women's Network in 2004 as part of the Cork 2005 European Capital of Culture, and constructed under the guidance of John Carroll. Barrel-top Wagons Barrel-top wagons hold significant cultural and historical importance within the Irish Traveller community and among other Romani and nomadic groups. Travellers traditionally used these colourful, ornate wagons as homes, offering both a means of transportation and shelter as they moved from place to place. In the Irish Traveller context, barrel-top wagons were often pulled by horses and were distinctive for their rounded roofs, which resembled the shape of a barrel. These wagons were often highly decorated, with intricate carvings, paintings, and vibrant colours, reflecting the creative and artistic expression of the communities that built and lived in them. They were typically made of wood, and the interiors were designed to be compact yet functional, with space for sleeping, cooking, and storing essential items. For many Travellers, it remains a symbol of their ancestral way of life and resilience in the face of societal changes. While the wagons are no longer as commonly used for daily living, they continue to hold a place of pride and represent the close-knit, family-oriented nature of Traveller communities.

In 2023, the Hourigan family partnered with the Cork Traveller Women’s Network (CTWN) and the Cork Public Museum to honour Danny, the last Traveller tinsmith in Cork. This collaboration facilitated the preservation and celebration of the family’s tinsmithing tradition, culminating in a display at the Toraig on the Tobar exhibition at the Cork Public Museum.

John Hourigan and his son, Danny Hourigan, were among the last practitioners of this trade in Cork. Their story reflects not only the craftsmanship that defined their work but also the resilience and spirit of the Traveller community. The family’s tinsmithing history is also linked to Bill O'Driscoll, John’s father-in-law, an iconic figure in the family’s legacy who passed on the skills to his son-in-law and later to his grandson, Danny. In 2023, the Hourigan family partnered with the Cork Traveller Women’s Network (CTWN) and the Cork Public Museum to honour Danny, the last Traveller tinsmith in Cork. This collaboration facilitated the preservation and celebration of the family’s tinsmithing tradition, culminating in a display at the Toraig on the Tobar exhibition at the Cork Public Museum. For more on this collaboration, follow <a href="https://ctwn.ie/traveller-culture-heritage/the-hourigans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this link.</a> Scope and Content: The collection documents the Hourigan family’s tinsmithing tradition, offering a unique insight into the craft, the people, and the community behind it.

Title A name given to the resource The Barrel-Top Wagon Collection Description An account of the resource This is a collection of photographs, a booklet and a radio programme that focuses on the barrel-top wagon that is on display in the Toraig on the Tobar, the Traveller culture exhibit at Cork Public Museum. The wagon was commissioned by the Cork Traveller Women's Network in 2004 as part of the Cork 2005 European Capital of Culture, and constructed under the guidance of John Carroll. Barrel-top Wagons Barrel-top wagons hold significant cultural and historical importance within the Irish Traveller community and among other Romani and nomadic groups. Travellers traditionally used these colourful, ornate wagons as homes, offering both a means of transportation and shelter as they moved from place to place. In the Irish Traveller context, barrel-top wagons were often pulled by horses and were distinctive for their rounded roofs, which resembled the shape of a barrel. These wagons were often highly decorated, with intricate carvings, paintings, and vibrant colours, reflecting the creative and artistic expression of the communities that built and lived in them. They were typically made of wood, and the interiors were designed to be compact yet functional, with space for sleeping, cooking, and storing essential items. For many Travellers, it remains a symbol of their ancestral way of life and resilience in the face of societal changes. While the wagons are no longer as commonly used for daily living, they continue to hold a place of pride and represent the close-knit, family-oriented nature of Traveller communities.
