TRAVELLERS TOGETHER PREVENTING SUICIDE , 10 Sept 2021

" 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 .. ..
