Discrimination, stereotyping and prejudice are still everyday realities for Irish Travellers in 2026. Latisha McCrudden speaks honestly about what that looks like in school, in college, in shops, restaurants, employment and accommodation.
Latisha is a final-year law student at the University of Galway, an activist and current Miss Roscommon, heading into the Miss Ireland final. She shares the misconceptions she’s determined to challenge, why some Traveller students still feel they have to hide their identity, and how media narratives can paint a whole community with the one brush.
She also explains what real change could look like - from a state apology for the 1963 report, to Traveller culture in the curriculum, and more representation in public life.
