There are tens of thousands of Irish Travellers in the United States. They are a hardworking and generally succesfull community. If you are interested, and can get to Dublin on Dec. 10, I am presenting a paper at the conference on nomadism in the 21st century, on the racialization of American Irish Travellers. Hope to see any Mudcatters interested in the subject.
All the best
