" Irish Travellers " ;
Respectfully coming together during ' Lockdown 2021 ' , to highlight
' Suicide Prevention Awareness ' ....
&
Make aware of ' The Suicide Pandemic ' ,
that plagues ' Ireland & it's Irish People ',
affecting all kinds of people , from all different walks of Life ...
in the present day Modern World ;
Irish Travellers , sadly are committing
' Suicide - six to seven ' times more ;
than members of " The Settled Community ' ....
&
to reach 40 /50 years of age in ' The Traveller World ' ?
It is a ' Miracle ' with our
' Ancient Irish pre-Celt Nomadic Genes ' -
& yet another stroke of bad luck ,
that we also seem to be plagued with
in ' The Modern Settled World '
&
Yet another ' Traveller Anomaly / Mystery ' ,
that nobody in Ruling Society of Ireland in 2021 /2022 ,
another ' unspoken about taboo '
that nobody wants to tackle or highlight ;
" The Early Death of Irish Travellers " ,
... Sadly being another reality ' Amongst Irish Travellers ' ,
when not ' Suicide ' ...
Good Health & God Bless to All .. ..
