Travellers         Home Page

If you are an Irish Traveller who has found this page, then:

"Yoordjeele's soonee-in munya, soobya; mishlee too this wraank."

Which means:

"It's good to see you, friend; enter this 'site.'"

Traveller children have contributed greatly to the success of our school football, hurling, camogie, basketball and rounders teams.

Each year traveller children have fully participated in our school concerts and in many instances playing leading roles.


My name is Bridget Connors.   I am 12 years old. I live in Carrigbán in Bunclody. I have 2 brothers and 7 sisters. I am in 5th class.

My favourite sport is camogie. I play on both the school team and on the GAA club team. When I am playing on the school team I play midfield. This year we played against Oulart, Rathnure, Enniscorthy and Buffer's Alley.

We drew in one of our games but sadly we lost the others. I scored in every game.

We wear maroon jerseys and grey skirts. Mrs. O'Rourke trains us. Some girls from Kilmyshall play with us also. Last year I won a plaque for a camogie blitz.

Ann and May train us in the club. Last June I played in the Féile na nGael competition. We won a plaque. I held the plaque for the photograph because I had the most scores!

When I grow up I would love to play on the county team.


My name is Michael Connors. I am 8 years old. I am in second class. I like my friends Mylie and Jerry. I have a horse. Her name is Holly.


My Dinosaur Adventure by Cáit Connors

My name is Larry Connors. I am in 3rd. Class. This is my favourite poem. It is called "My Uncle`s Umbrella."
                         My Uncle`s Umbrella.
                          Under my Uncle`s umbrella
                          Are Uncle Augustus and I
                          My uncles quite fat
                          If it wasn`t for that
                          I`d manage to keep myself dry.
