Cork Traveller Visibility Group Staff speaking in the city centre.
Our History

“… 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 group both to themselves and to others. ......”
The foundation of our work is based on community development principles and practices. We seek to bring these into all aspects of our work whether it is through group work, one to one support work, through the childcare centre or our participation at committee..
