    Anastasia Crickley, former Head of Dept of Applied Social Studies and Chairperson UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination welcomes the announcement by the Irish Government of State recognition of Travellers as an ethnic group.

    March 1st 2017 was an historic and symbolic day for Travellers as their more than thirty year struggle to have their ethnicity fully recognised and acknowledged was successfully concluded by the fulsome statement by An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, TD, in the Dáil. It also marks an event of historic and symbolic importance for all who support human rights and social justice for the diversity of humanity. The UN Committee for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination which I have the honour to chair, actively supports the widely held international consensus regarding the rights of people to identify as members of particular groups and has called on states, including Ireland, to acknowledge Travellers this self-identification. Identity denial is often a direct route to racism and a barrier to rights realisation. No one, as the Taoiseach said, should have to hide their culture to be respected or even included in society.

We acknowledge also the work of associates of the Department, past and present, who have been involved in highlighting the discrimination faced by Travellers in their daily lives and in working with Travellers to address these issues at a national, regional and global level.
