Some truly powerful Traveller women who motivate and inspire us here at OTM.
Not to forgetting our own Managing Director, Sandra Mc Donagh! A powerhouse here in OTM✊
(But shh, don’t tell her we mentioned her - she is far too modest and will never forgive us! 🤫)

The language used in this tweet is deeply offensive to members of the Traveller community.
Appalled that a day later the official @FineGael Twitter not only hasn’t issued an apology, but continues to openly embrace this appalling vilification of a recognised ethnic minority.
Fantastic news that our LTI Co Ordinator @AoifeMasterson has been nominated to the Board of @EAPNIreland
Delighted to have been nominated today join the board of @EAPNIreland
The EAPN undertake vital work in raising awareness around poverty & social inclusion and put the eradication of such at the top of the Irish & EU agenda.
Looking forward to assisting the team going forward.
OTM would like wish the very best of luck to all young members of the community beginning exams today.
This can be a stressful time for students, friends & family so below are some helpful tips to support learners through this challenging time.

The Leaving Cert is a stressful time for students, but it can be tough on parents too. Here are some top tips from the Youth Mental Health Lab at UCD on how to help your teenager - and yourself - get through it. #LeavingCert #LeavingCert2022

This episode has been highly damaging for the Dept and NCSE - and also a massive distraction from doing what actually needs to be done - designing and implementing school plans that ensures all children’s needs are properly vindicated. irishtimes.com/ireland/educa…

Don here. Embarrassed to be back again but DE has found new ways to torture staff and students. This is a long thread about a Dept that doesn’t feel answerable to anybody.People say I should compromise on our ask of DE. Compromise on what? The right of children to education?1/23

A thread from our LTI Co Ordinator who attended @MU_MAP International Traveller and Roma Day 2022
Looking forward to hear discussion of ‘How open are universities to Traveller and Roma?’
Panel includes Maria Joyce from @NTWFIRL Dr Taylor from @MUAppSocSc, Thomas McCann of Traveller Counselling Service, @NUIG_OwenWard and @SindyLJoyce and @AHaynesTweets from UL
OTM are delighted to attend @MU_MAP celebration today
International Traveller and Roma Day - Welcome address by MU President Prof Eeva Leinonen and keynote address by Anastasia Crickley followed by a panel discussion - all welcome at 3pm today in John Hume Building, JH3. maynoothuniversity.ie/news-e…
Significant point raised by David Joyce that, in addition to diversifying the student body, it is also important to diversify the range of opportunities available to members of the Traveller community following university and the role universities can play in this.
