Fantastic to see Irish Traveller ethnicity, culture and heritage celebrated alongside other cultures as part of intercultural day in North Monastery Co-educational Secondary School, especially during Traveller Pride Week 2026!✨️

In celebration of Traveller Pride Week, pupils of St Mark's boys school and St Brendan's girls school (the Glen) enjoyed some storytime at the Blackpool library with proud parents and members of Cork Traveller Women's Network Suellen and Maryann McCarthy. What a beautiful collaboration all around ❤️

Traveller Pride 2026 being celebrated and nurtured through this beautiful art work displaying heritage, culture and great pride! Kudos to the Traveller children attending the school completion programme and to their Le Cheile project worker Sinead Murphy in St. Mary's on the Hill NS.

Traveller Pride Week has been launched and there are so many brilliant opportunities to meet with the Irish Traveller community, in Cork and all around the country!
Here is the Traveller Pride Week 2026 programme by the brilliant group Cork Traveller Women's Network.

Showing tonight on RTE One and RTE player, a new documentary film showing social and cultural changes trough four generations of a Traveller family.

RTÉ will premiere A Traveller Family, a compelling new documentary exploring the lives of four generations of the Collins family, members of Ireland’s Traveller community. Airing on Monday 11 May 2026 at 9.35pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player, the film uses one family’s story to reflect on changing times, Traveller identity and the role creativity plays across generations.

At the heart of the documentary are four generations of one family. In the first generation featured, viewers meet Big James Collins, 78, one of the last remaining Traveller tinsmiths in Ireland. His life and craft anchor an intergenerational narrative that moves from the road to the classroom and from inherited identity to evolving traditions.

Traveller Pride Week 2026 is happening soon all around Ireland and this is the Cork programme! Thank you to the Cork Traveller Visibility Group Ltd and the Cork Traveller Women's Network.
Each year, Traveller Pride Week is a unique opportunity for meeting and talking with Travellers young and older, for sharing traditions, heritage and history, and for bringing down barriers and building understanding, friendships, and partnerships.
Please share widely with families and school communities!💃

A much needed Traveller specific support service for Travellers and Traveller families.
