"Suicide rate six times higher than the general population.(12% of all traveller deaths)
The highest infant mortality rate among any community(3.5 times normal)
The lowest educational achievement
The highest unemployment rate (84%)
only 13 per cent of Traveller children complete second-level education compared to 92 per cent in the settled community.
Travellers make up 0.6 per cent of the population yet account for 10 per cent of the male prisoner population and 22 per cent of the female prison population.
Almost 10 per cent of the people under probation supervision are Travellers,
Traveller males have a lifeexpectancy 15 years shorter than settled males, II years for traveller women.
Travellers with mental and physical health problems three times higher that the general population

If insisting on living in a caravan achieves the statistics above then I would suggest that perhaps travellers need to try living in houses like other people, stop bleating they are misunderstood and discriminated against and leave their anachronistic lifestyle behind. The statistics suggest that insisting on retaining a nomadic lifestyle will eventually exterminate them.

If I kept my children away from education I would be prosecuted, for travellers it is ignored. Why is that?"

Which is all a serious indictment of the rest of society.
