Members of the Traveller community often feel targeted by Gardai - but they feel ignored when it comes to reporting crimes themselves.
A new report on Travellers' experience of the Justice System also shows they frequently experience discrimination in the courts.
A joint Oireachtas Committee examining key issues affecting Travellers has made 20 recommendations on how Gardai, The Prison and Courts Service, and Government Departments, should interact with members of the community.
They include measures to prevent racial profiling... a ticketing system to record instances of 'stop and search... and 'in-prison' resources like education and counselling.
