(This has dropped from being three times the national rate in the 1990s http://www.paveepoint.ie/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/PrimaryHealthCare05.pdf) They have twice the rate of diabetes of the general population https://www.irishtimes.com/news/diabetes-and-metabolic-disorders-twice-as-common-among-travellers-1.694344 As for nutritional education, yes, I do think it's important to educate any community that doesn't have a family source of vital information that may save their health. Health and the Travelling Community: http://www.irishhealth.com/article.html?id=1079 There aren't very many Travellers in Ireland: under 30,000 on the latest figures. It should be possible to help them out of their dreadful conditions of life. But these are people who have a huge level of unemployment - but who wants to give them a job, in our prejudice-free Ireland?

So these people are likely to be as sick as you. This is why it's good to get Travellers decently housed so they can have a more stable life, and take advantage of education for their children and learn to cook and eat nutritiously.

Now, I haven't read all of the bible, so can someone point me to the section where it says that it's OK for fit healthy young men to beat up, terrorise and rob elderley people living alone. Or the bit where it's OK to steal a working man's tools?
