Concerns about accommodation, lack of job opportunities and skills, and a lack of social outlets, are highlighted in a survey of travellers in west Limerick.They are also concerned about the low number of children who go on to second-level education.The report, compiled by West Limerick Resources, is based on interviews with 133 of west Limerick's 211 traveller families. The majority of the interviews were carried out by the travellers themselves. The survey encompassed Askeaton, Abbeyfeale, Newcastle West and Rathkeale.Some said they had not been offered jobs because they were travellers and "because settled people didn't trust travellers" . Out of a total of 225, only 27 traveller children attended second-level schools. 21 families had children in training centres.The report also claimed that few travellers are welcome in pubs, restaurants and hotels and although two-thirds of travellers are living in houses, accommodation is still a big problem for the remaining third, who live in temporary dwellings. Of the 133 families surveyed, 20 are living on the roadside. The report recommends a special education programme tailored to travellers' needs and the appointment of a public health nurse specialising in traveller health. The establishment of an education unit to assist more young travellers to take up second-level education is also recommended.
