UCD has produced four flyers for use and replication in support of the All Ireland Traveller Health Study. The flyers are in Adobe PDF Format.
We want to make ths site as accessible as possible to people who, for one reason or other, can’t read the words on the page. We decided to go with a very simple audio player, which will not interfere with screen readers, if the user wants to use that.
If we decide to progress with this, the reader will be a Traveller man and a Traveller woman, and the sound quality will be better.

The site has been upgraded to the latest version, 2.5.1. There don’t appear to be any issues with the build at this time.
The age structure of the Irish and Traveller populations have been added to the site. This important addition aims to increase the amount of information available about the Traveller population structure. Information on the pages highlighted was collated and extrapolated by Pavee Point.

The Our Geels Video, produced by Pavee Point Travellers’ Centre, is available on the Our Geels microsite, also by Pavee Point. It runs a little over 19 minutes. Thanks go to UCD for converting the video and uploading it.View the video here.
The Our Geels video aims to make the issue of the All Ireland Traveller Health Study immediate to everyone involved.
The Pavee Point microsite for the All Ireland Traveller Health Study has been released. Our Geels is an all-encompassing study of the health and living conditions of Travellers in Ireland, North and South. The microsite is developed from a Pavee Point perspective, and will carry information of use to participants in the study.
There is a corresponding set of pages held by University College Dublin; in terms of materials being released, this site will attempt to mirror materials on that site, but UCD’s site should be treated as canonical.
This site is developed on the self-hosted WordPress engine, and takes the form of a blog with many static pages.
