The Irish Travellers are the largest minority in Ireland. There are
about 25, 000 Irish Travellers in Ireland and 1, 300 in Northern
Ireland. They are a little understood nomadic community, who have
many difficulties to overcome if they are to survive as a culture
and gain acceptance into Irish society. Among the challenges facing
them are poverty and racism. The Irish Travellers are a distinct
ethnic group which has existed for centuries. Often they are
mistakenly considered part of the nomadic Romani, an ethnic group
which originated in the region of India and is now widespread
throughout Europe. But the Irish Travellers are indigenous to
Ireland, so the two cultures are not related. While both are
nomadic, the Irish Travellers are Roman Catholic and speak a
language that is theirs alone. They have their own culture,
customs, traditions, and language. They are noted for their musical
and storytelling abilities. In times past, they travelled by
horse-drawn wagon in caravans, making camp along the way.
Tinsmithing, horse trading and peddling were the major sources of
income in those days. Tinsmiths were so prevalent among Irish
Travellers that the terms Tinker and Irish Traveller were used
interchangeably. Today, Tinker is one of many names for Irish
Travellers. Horses and wagons have given way to mobile homes pulled
by motor vehicles. They continue their life on the road, but there
are fewer places to stop and fewer places where they are welcome.
Today, Irish Travellers mainly work in re¬cycling. Changing needs
of society and progress have eliminated the jobs that could support
a culture on wheels. Irish Travellers are poor, undereducated, and
on the receiving end of discrimination. Their life expectancy is
lower than average while their infant mortality rate is higher than
average. As is the case with the Romani, the Irish Travellers are
seen by many as a group of immoral, ignorant criminals and con
artists. People distrust their nomadic culture and their language,
Shelta. Many think it´s a secret language specifically developed as
a tool to help the Irish Travellers trick innocent people. But this
is not true. It is an old language, which has evolved with time and
circumstances. Once heavily infused with Irish Gaelic, it is now
infused with English.

So, after my first baby arrived, I felt for years that I had the
perfect job. I was my own boss. I could work when I wanted and have
a rest when I wanted. If I didn´t feel like cleaning or doing the
shopping and wanted to have a day off, that was fine. Nobody else
would have to be asked to cover for me, my work could wait until I
was ready to do it. Oh yes, it was hard work taking care of our
home and our children and the hours were long, but the work was
varied and very rewarding. In fact, being a homemaker was the
perfect job for me. I was absolutely happy being a housewife and
mum. Watching my children thrive, witnessing their first steps,
hearing their first words and all the other milestones were worth
more than any amount of money.
