Irish Travellers mostly live in Ireland, as well as in large communities in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. As of 2016, there are 32,302 Travellers within Ireland. They represent 0.7% of the total population of the Republic of Ireland. There are different estimates about the size of the total population of people with Gypsy ancestry, because many people of Gypsy descent do not declare themselves Gypsy. The United Kingdom alone is believed to be home to up to 300,000 Traveller people.
