According to a report presented to the Social Sciences and Public Policy conference held in Galway; “The greatest degree of segregation is experienced by the Travelling community, followed by people in local authority housing, followed by non-nationals and ethnic minorities. There is relatively little segregation around social class or status.” -'Ireland After Nama' |
