Abstract
This chapter presents a case study of the TOBAR programme, an initiative aimed at diversifying initial teacher education in Ireland. The programme, developed in 2017, is a response to Ireland's National Access Plan (2015-2019) and a growing awareness for the need to diversify the teaching profession in Ireland and is funded by the Higher Education Authority (HEA). The data gives voice to traveller students who participated in the TOBAR programme and will provide unique insights that balance the majoritarian narrative on access and inclusion. Drawing on a series of semi-structured interviews with three students on the TOBAR programme, the authors report that while the programme is having a positive impact on accessing higher education, challenges at student level and at HEI level still exist.
