EQUAL STATUS LEGISLATION:

While legislation alone will not put an end to the discrimination faced it will make an essential contribution to this task. It will give Travellers a legal means of redress. It would be a statement of significant weight from Government of the Travellers status in Irish society. It would also specify the Traveller community as being protected.
EQUALITY AUTHORITY:

The effectiveness and impact of legislation depends on the institutions created to promote and implement such legislation. The Task Force stresses the importance of involving Traveller organisations in such institutions. They require a body of expertise in relation to discrimination in non-employment areas to match that existing in relation to employment areas and that discrimination experienced by the Traveller community.
CODE OF PRACTICE AND EQUAL STATUS POLICY:

Codes of practice should set out the central objectives of an Equal Status policy and the key commitments required. An Equal Status policy in relation to Travellers aims to ensure that an institution or organisation and its employees acknowledge and respect the distinct culture of the Travellers and do not engage in direct and indirect discrimination.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS:

International standards on human rights at universal and regional levels have an importance for the Traveller community
ACCESS TO VOTING:

The Electoral Act of 1992 makes residence within a constituency a prerequisite for registration and as such nomadism can disenfranchise Travellers as the legislation stands.
