Talk:Irish Travellers

Alternative Facts
Declan Henry's article headed Traveller Community 'Belongs to Ireland' in The Irish Post (published in Birmingham) of 1st October 2022 has different population statistics: around 40,000 Irish Travellers living in the Republic of Ireland, approximately 5,000 in Northern Ireland, an estimated 15,000 - 20,000 in England, Scotland and Wales, around 20,000 in the United States and "a sizeable community" in Canada. No sources were given for the data, but they may be in his book "Gypsies, Roma and Travellers: A Contemporary Analysis" published by Critical Publishing on 7th September 2022.

Figuring out where to put material on "Pony Kids"
I'm working on the article Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club, which is about an American organization that teaches young people about taking care of and riding horses. The article includes some material about horse-riding teenagers in Dublin, but it doesn't seem to belong in the article -- it's not closely related -- so I'd like to move it. I'm thinking this could be rewritten to fit under "Sports" in this article, since the practice seems to come from Irish Traveller traditions. Does that make sense?
