What is pavee meaning?

Pavee is a term used to refer to Irish Travellers or Gypsies, who are a nomadic ethnic group in Ireland. The word "pavee" comes from the Irish word "páipéar", which means "paper", as Travellers were traditionally known for peddling goods, including paper, from door to door. Irish Travellers have a distinct culture, language, and way of life, which is often misunderstood or discriminated against by the settled population. The majority of Irish Travellers are Catholic and their customs and traditions are based on a nomadic lifestyle, including horse-drawn wagons, extended family networks, and a strong sense of community. There is a significant amount of prejudice towards Irish Travellers, with many experiencing discrimination in education, housing, and employment opportunities.
