[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 2179635, member: 29"]Entirely different groups. Irish travellers are of that ethnicity, and are devout Roman Catholics. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Travellers[/URL] . Mostly from Rathkeale and the local area. Gypsies are Romani, which does not mean Romanian. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_people[/URL] . Origin is probably India. They have their own very distinctive language, too. The umbrella welfare organisations, who I've worked with, clearly differentiate the two heritages. It's a bit like lumping together, oh, say Filipinos and Hispanics in terms of wrongness. This is fascnating on the subject: [URL]https://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/travellers-as-genetically-different-from-settled-irish-as-spanish-1.2969515[/URL] (Then, you get into fairground and canal peoples, who are also travellers with a very distinct heritage. )[/QUOTE]
