Ireland has 'disappointing attitudes' towards Traveller and Roma communities 

While the majority of people would be comfortable living next door to people with different nationalities, genders, sexual orientation, disabilities, religious beliefs or marital status, there were more negative attitudes to the likes of Travellers.

Ireland is an “accepting and welcoming country” generally but still has “disappointing attitudes” toward members of the Traveller and Roma communities, a new Government report has said.

While the majority of people would be comfortable living next door to people with different nationalities, genders, sexual orientation, disabilities, religious beliefs or marital status, there were more negative attitudes to the likes of Travellers, people who are transgender, and people with criminal records according to a new survey.
