This research aims to analyse gaps and challenges in the implementation of national Travellerfocused policy, with a view to establishing strategies for strengthening policy implementation. It is undertaken in a context where Travellers experience outcomes of inequality across the full spectrum of policy fields, and on the understanding that equality and human rights for Travellers remain an imperative for both policy making and policy implementation. These unequal outcomes point up issues of significant policy implementation failure, which serve as the starting point for this research.
