All Ireland Traveller Health StudyIrish TravellersIrish Travellers are a small indigenous minority group that has been part of Irish society for centuries.They have a value system, language, customs and traditions, which make them an identifiable groupboth to themselves and to others. Their distinctive lifestyle and culture, based on a nomadic tradition,sets them apart from the general population.The Equal Status Act (Government of Ireland, 2002) defined the Traveller Community as follows:‘Traveller community means the community of people who are commonly called Travellers and who areidentified (both by themselves and others) as people with a shared history, culture and traditions, includinghistorically, a nomadic way of life on the island of Ireland’.This is the same definition as the Race Relations Order in Northern Ireland (UK Parliament, 1997)Traveller separateness, partly by choice, enables them to retain their identity as an ethnic group, oftenin the face of opposition and pressure to conform to general societal norms (Ní Shuinear, 1994). Theirexperience of low social status and exclusion, which can prevent them from participating as equals insociety, is often aggravated by hostility and misconceptions of people towards them (Helleiner, 2000).Yet there are many positive aspects to Traveller life, not generally appreciated by the wider population.Some of these characteristics are in keeping with the so-called social capital literature, which advocatesthe positive health benefits of social supports and networks, family ties and kinship, communityparticipation and cross-generational respect, all hallmarks of traditional Traveller communities (Gmelchand Gmelch, 1976).The challenge in devising a research instrument for this study was to capture the complex whole that isthe modern Traveller community, both the positive and negative aspects, and to compare and contrastthat experience with the general population.Traveller PopulationAccording to the 2006 Census (Central Statistics Office, 2007a) there were just over 22,000 Travellersliving in the Republic of Ireland (Central Statistics Office, 2007b) and 1,770 in Northern Ireland (Censusfor NI, 2001). It is accepted that this is a count of ascertained Travellers only (Kobayashi, 2005). It doesexemplify an important demographic characteristic of the Traveller population however; the lownumber of Travellers in the middle and older age groups, compared with the general Irish populationpyramid (Figures 2 and 3).6
