The Race Disparity Audit website displays data where possible using the Census 2011 ethnic categories, which includes Gypsy or Irish Traveller. The Department has provided data from the National Travel Survey on measures such as driving licence holding, household car access and the number of journeys made each year. However, the number of Gypsy or Irish Travellers in the survey is too small to show data for this group separately.<\/p>
