He has posted a long waffling video to describe how he has been excluded from an upcoming traveller conference.https://www.facebook.com/100007227857780/posts/2242864719297768?sfns=1 Slightly more literate today. People in the comments are advising him to contact a traveller mediation group.

They don't want him to record it as he's not setup to handle data regulations so they hired a 'settled' company. How is this exclusion? You can't just approach any conference and demand to speak at or record it.

Look at any other minority section of Irish society. In the past 30 to 40 years we have seen a lot of different people join our island. We have all races and ethnicities here now and they have all integrated. Look at any primary school class and I guarantee you will see mixed kids with one Irish parent and the other is eastern european/black/asain/middle eastern. Go to any halting site and see how many mixed kids you can count. I'm guessing zero. Irish employers will hire anyone who is capable of doing the job. Every other minority has managed to integrate into Irish society in a relatively short period of time. Why can't Travellers do the same? They've had 400 years (accepted theory is that they are transients from Cromwell's plantations from the 1600's). Immigrants have had less than 40.

I'm part of another native Irish minority and we have huge issues with unemployment. And its not for lack of trying on our behalf.The government seems to be conveniently ignoring those issues even though they recognised our language as a native language in December 2017.
