Today, we have published 'Understanding Attitudes to Travellers and Roma in Ireland' by Evan Carron-Kee, Fran McGinnity and Anousheh Alamir, PhD.   👥 Travellers and Roma are two distinct ethnic groups with different histories, cultures, and languages. However, attitudes to both groups are very similar in Ireland.   ⚠ The research finds that Travellers and Roma face the highest levels of prejudice of any ethnic group in Ireland.   📊 Travellers and Roma stand out as the groups that people in Ireland are least comfortable with in 3 areas of their lives. On average, people were most comfortable having Travellers and Roma in their child’s class in school, less comfortable with having them as neighbours and least comfortable with having them in a relationship with their child.   🏡 People living in affluent areas were less comfortable with having Travellers as neighbours or in a relationship with their child than those living in disadvantaged areas.    🎓 More educated respondents were generally more comfortable with Travellers and Roma compared to less well-educated respondents.   🗺 Residents of the border region and Dublin were most tolerant of both groups. People living in the West and Midlands were least tolerant of Travellers, whereas people in the South West and Midlands were least tolerant of Roma.
