Aims to be a focal point for giving support and assistance to those who
suffer from tinnitus. This is a condition where constant noises, which do not
arise from an external source, are heard in the ears and head, and for which
there is no known cure at present. The Association seeks to ensure that
those with tinnitus need not feel alone and it aims to raise awareness with
the medical profession, particularly GPs.

National representative organisation established in 1990. Has a membership
of over 90 Traveller organisations and individuals. Consists of a partnership of
Travellers and settled people committed to seeking full equality for Travellers
in Irish society. It seeks to bring the skills and resources of Travellers committed
to changing their situation together with those of the settled community
who are committed to supporting Traveller initiatives. The organisation is
structured to ensure that its policies and programmes are Traveller-led. Aims:
to highlight the issues faced by Travellers and press for solutions; to debate
ideas and formulate and promote culturally appropriate initiatives; to provide
those active at a local level with support and solidarity; to develop alliances at
national and local level; to challenge the many forms of individual, structural
and institutional racism with which Travellers have to deal.
