Ms Lucey dealt with the issue of this requirement for consensus among the Traveller community. That goes against the principle of self-identification. It is internationally recognised. That is dealt with.

Perhaps Ms Lucey would elaborate on this matter she touched on in her earlier comments and in her response initially to my first question. In terms of the international human rights treaties, what are the implications for the Traveller community of ethnicity denial and what protections under those treaties are being denied that would change if ethnicity were granted? That is my final question.
