Question

Could someone please explain to me in detail who the Irish Travelers are and do they pose a threat to my life?

Answer 1

Irish travelers are like modern day gypsies.   SOme are armed and yes they can be dangerous but I highly doubt a threat to your life.    They make a living on being con artists.   They will typicaly do some sort of job and either not finish it, or not do it at all when they get money up front.    

Answer 2

Irish Travellers (Irish: Lucht siúil) are an itinerant people of Irish origin living in Ireland, Great Britain and the United States. It is estimated that 25,000 Travellers live in Ireland, between 200,000 and 300,000 in Great Britain, and 7,000 in the United States.

Travellers refer to themselves as "Pavees", whereas some English people refer to them with the derogatory term "Pikeys". In Irish, Travellers are called an Lucht siúil (literally "the people of walking"). Many non-Pavee people (called "buffers", or sometimes "rooters"[citation needed]) still use the term "tinkers" from the Irish tincéirí, sg. tincéir or "tinsmith." Rarely, Travellers were referred to as the "Walking People" by English speakers in Ireland. Other names are also used, such as "pikeys" or "knackers" (considered derogatory).

They don't pose a threat to you.

Answer 3

Where do you live?  If you live in America, the federal government protects you from foreign invaders and you protect yourself with a firearm.  EVERYBODY poses a threat to your life.  Live your life armed and ready for battle every second.
