Title A name given to the resource Activism Description An account of the resource The Travelling Community in Cork City has long been a resilient force advocating for the rights and recognition of Irish Travellers. Known for their rich cultural heritage, they have faced marginalisation and discrimination, yet continue to fight for equality and the preservation of their traditions. Activism in Cork has included public demonstrations, workshops, and efforts to secure more culturally appropriate, permanent housing for Travellers. Activists have also played a key role in national discussions on Traveller rights, striving to combat racism, challenge discrimination, and ensure that Travellers' voices are heard and valued. A key victory came in 2017 when the Irish government officially recognised Irish Travellers as an ethnic minority, a result of years of campaigning by groups such as the Cork Traveller Women's Network and the Traveller Visibility Group. These organisations have been crucial in pushing for better access to education, healthcare, housing, and employment, and have consistently called for the protection of Traveller rights as an indigenous group. A significant setback for the Travelling Community was the Anti-Trespass Act of 2002, which criminalised occupying land without permission, severely limiting Travellers’ ability to continue their nomadic lifestyles. This law led to widespread protests, with groups like the Traveller Visibility Group advocating for its reform to protect Traveller cultural practices while ensuring secure accommodation.

Title A name given to the resource Activism Description An account of the resource The Travelling Community in Cork City has long been a resilient force advocating for the rights and recognition of Irish Travellers. Known for their rich cultural heritage, they have faced marginalisation and discrimination, yet continue to fight for equality and the preservation of their traditions. Activism in Cork has included public demonstrations, workshops, and efforts to secure more culturally appropriate, permanent housing for Travellers. Activists have also played a key role in national discussions on Traveller rights, striving to combat racism, challenge discrimination, and ensure that Travellers' voices are heard and valued. A key victory came in 2017 when the Irish government officially recognised Irish Travellers as an ethnic minority, a result of years of campaigning by groups such as the Cork Traveller Women's Network and the Traveller Visibility Group. These organisations have been crucial in pushing for better access to education, healthcare, housing, and employment, and have consistently called for the protection of Traveller rights as an indigenous group. A significant setback for the Travelling Community was the Anti-Trespass Act of 2002, which criminalised occupying land without permission, severely limiting Travellers’ ability to continue their nomadic lifestyles. This law led to widespread protests, with groups like the Traveller Visibility Group advocating for its reform to protect Traveller cultural practices while ensuring secure accommodation.
