In this episode, we’re joined by Olive O’Reilly from Limerick Traveler Network, alongside Edel O’Donnell and Deirdre O’Connor from the UL Access Office.
Together, they share insights into the realities of access to education for those who have traditionally been underrepresented or excluded, particularly within Traveler communities and other groups on the margins.
We explore the barriers that still exist, the importance of culturally responsive support, and the role of targeted access programmes in creating more equitable pathways into and through education.
