Mainstream media reaction to the Traveller protest at Dunsink has been interesting, writes Dave McCarthy of the Traveller Visibility Group in Cork. The action has given the darlings of the right wing media the time of their lives this week, as they got their first excuse in years to peddle their hatred of Ireland’s only ethnic minority.

Resolving the Traveller accommodation crisis is a matter of urgency and one of primary concern in combating discrimination. The negative public perception of Travellers is reinforced daily by the sight of families living on roadside sites with no sanitation, water, electricity, refuse disposal, or facilities to dispose of liquid waste.

TVG makes the case to Cork County Council to take the appropriate actuion as part of its Traveller Accommodation Programme 2005 to 2008. ... read full story / add a comment
