Alisha, a pre-teen Irish Traveler girl arrives back from school to Labre Park, her family's halting site. Alisha showed me around her halting site and posed briefly beside her family car when I took this photograph. Labre Park – named after the patron saint of Travelers, St Benedict Joseph Labre, is the oldest in Ireland. Although the site was seen as a desirable place to live for the many traveler families that came from areas of no running water and electricity, it has now become a safety hazard to more than the 20 families that live there.Alisha, a pre-teen Irish Traveler girl arrives back from school to Labre Park, her family's halting site.
