What is the difference between a genuine Gypsy and someone who just lives on roadside?
The Race Relations Amendment Act recognises Irish Travellers and English/Romany Gypsies as a distinct ethnic group. They use modern caravans and vehicles. Some Gypsies and Travellers are highly mobile and only stay in the county for a few weeks – other Gypsies and Travellers have been resident in the county all their lives and come from families who have lived here for many generations. Other Gypsies and Travellers are resident in housing.
