| Irish Travellers
|
Pavee Point is a partnership of Irish Travellers and
settled people working together to improve the lives of Irish Travellers through
working towards social justice, solidarity, socio-economic development and human
rights.
Travellers are a small indigenous minority, documented as being part
of Irish society for centuries. Travellers have a long shared history and value
system which make them a distinct group. They have their own language, customs
and traditions.
