The Taoiseach has publicly recognised the ethnic status of the Traveller Community.

Enda Kenny’s formal declaration in the Dáil tonight is the final formality on giving legal status to the traveller community.

In an historic speech Mr Kenny said they no longer need to walk with their heads down and can now feel the same sense of hope and opportunity as every other person in this country.
