Pavee Point's Collins: 'Significant minority' of Travellers not following Covid-19 guidelines

Winnie Reilly many older Travellers could not read and therefore could not follow the instructions in the booklet issued by the Government.

The director of Pavee Point, the Traveller and Roma support centre, has said that “a significant minority” of Travellers are not observing the guidelines with regard to Covid-19.

Martin Collins told RTÉ radio’s Morning Ireland that “by and large” the message about the importance of social and physical distancing and hand washing is “getting across” and Travellers are observing the restrictions.
