| dc.description | There are approximately 5,000 Roma living in Ireland, with Roma families identified in every county in Ireland.1 The largest communities of Roma are estimated to be in Dublin, Louth, Kildare, Wexford, Cork, Kerry, Clare and Donegal. While the majority of Roma in Ireland are from Romania (approx. 80%), mapping from the Roma Needs Assessment also identified Roma from Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. The Roma community have been recognised as one of the most marginalised and disadvantaged groups in Ireland. Roma in Ireland continue to experience poorer health outcomes, including higher rates of chronic health diseases, extreme poverty, poor housing and unemployment; and the lack of access to mainstream health services. This is further compounded by language barriers and lack of engagement with statutory agencies which is linked to experiences of discrimination, lack of trust in the State and fear of the State.
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a number of significant challenges for Roma, especially those who are most vulnerable. In particular, Roma families who are living in severely overcrowded and unsafe accommodation, those who are unable to access social welfare payments due to the Habitual Residence Condition; and those without access to GP/health services. | en |
