The Minister for Children, Disability and Equality, Norma Foley, announced on Wednesday the opening of applications for the Traveller and Roma Local Employment Initiative.
The local employment initiative was established in 2006 (as the ‘Special Initiative for Travellers’) to address the disproportionately high levels of unemployment and underemployment experienced by Travellers and Roma in Ireland.
Under the expanded new initiative - now including Roma communities in its remit - the Department of Children, Disability and Equality are encouraging organisations with experience in local recruitment, training, and advocacy supports for Travellers and Roma, as well as community development & peer outreach, to apply to deliver the Traveller and Roma Local Employment Initiative.
Eligible organisations for funding can apply for the initiative via equality[@]dcde.gov.ie. Applications close at midday on 17 June 2026.
