Even before we had witnesses publicly, we had the discussion about the trailer loan scheme. Language is important. Travellers have slang words. Some people say that a trailer is something that goes on the back of a van or a car, whereas in my life a trailer was a home to many a person. The Deputy has raised an important question that we as a committee need to look at about our language and the best way to speak to the community. The best way to do that is by using the terms the Traveller community uses. For example, some people would use the term "camps". In that context it is okay.
