Recognition of Traveller Ethnicity: Discussion
2:50 pm
Ms Sinéad Lucey:
It would have considerable symbolic significance for the Traveller community. In this regard, I defer to the others present. The statement of the Taoiseach on the Magdalen laundries is noteworthy. This is an emotional matter associated with esteem and such issues. The symbolic effect of a statement would be very powerful.
