Allegations concerning the deteriorating health condition of Irish Travellers in Ireland.
According to the information received, while health inequalities in Ireland are addressed
within the overall context of the Government’s policy on social inclusion outlined in the
National Action Plan on Social Inclusion 2007-2016, and the National Partnership
Agreement “Towards 2016”, Irish Travellers allegedly continue to experience
systematic denial of the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of
physical and mental health in Ireland. Furthermore, it is alleged that austerity measures
adopted by the Government would further impact negatively on the health condition of
Irish Travellers.

Allegations relating to a re-routing of the 2013 Chisinau Pride Parade. According to the 28/06/2013

a rights organization promoting non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation

municipality that the march would need to be re-routed and held in a marginal location
in the Valea Morilor rather that in the centre of Chisinau.
