To mark the 60th Anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights the ITM will be projecting images that locate the struggle for Travellers' rights as part of a broader Human Rights Struggle onto various buildings. This will take place in Dublin City Centre from 4.30pm– more details on the press launch to follow. The ITM will hope that members from all over the country will be able to attend the event.

Traveller Counselling Service Launched

The Traveller Counselling Service was launched yesterday. It is an independent, culturally appropriate counselling service which has been set up specifically for Travellers in the Greater Dublin Area. It is a one-year pilot project which will hopefully lead to a more long-term culturally appropriate counselling service for Travellers.

It is a free, confidential non-judgemental service which is free for Travellers over 18.
