Travellers must realise that with rights come responsibilities

Travellers are discriminated against but parents have a responsibility in arranging their children’s education and in seeking any necessary help for their literacy, writes John Byrne

THERE is absolutely no doubt that Travellers are negatively discriminated against at almost every level in Irish society.

There are countless examples of Travellers who have to book weddings under assumed names in order to find a hotel that will facilitate their celebrations, or conflicts that have arisen because residents have objected to halting sites being placed in their communities.
