I am privileged to be here and delighted to be the Chairperson of the now standing Joint Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community (2023). That is a great legacy to leave behind. If I was never to be elected again, to have this as a standing committee is something else for the Traveller community. Most importantly, there are 84 recommendations from the previous committee. I seek a commitment from the Government to take those recommendations seriously and ask that the committee that has been set up will be supported by the Government in at least 90% of our work. I am keeping it simple. Will the Taoiseach reassure us of his commitment to supporting the committee in the coming years?
