Michael and Winnie Ward are settled travellers from Tuam Co.Galway,  The Irish traveller community is also sometimes known as Rilantu Mincéirí and Shelta is recognised as their language. It’s widely known as Cant but fewer and fewer people within the traveller community speak it. But it hasn’t stopped them giving it a go.

This podcast from RTÉjr Radio is for kids, teachers and families to start sharing all the wonderful things that make us, Us!
