From 28 September 2026, all passengers travelling on Irish Ferries between the Republic of Ireland & Britain (both directions) are required to carry a valid passport, as are all passengers travelling on Stena Line services via Dublin, Holyhead, Fishguard and Rosslare.

Ireland's first Traveller Heritage Strategy aims to protect oral history, music, craft skills and a distinct way of life.

17/08/2026

We welcome the publication of the first ever National Traveller Heritage Strategy, a historic step towards validating and preserving Traveller Heritage.

The Strategy acknowledges the central place Traveller culture holds in Irish heritage and aims to ensure Traveller visibility and inclusion in Ireland's cultural memory.

We look forward to working with the Heritage Council on the implementation of the new Strategy and building on the important work Traveller organisations are already doing to develop pride, respect and ownership in Traveller identity, ethnicity and culture.
