Is Ms Logan of the view that part of the commission's job is to change public attitudes to human rights and equality issues? I would argue that we have a long way to go in this regard, particularly in view of recent events. I refer here to our attitude to members of the Traveller or Roma communities or to how we treat immigrants. We must move forward and change people's attitudes. Will the commission have a role to play in the context of bringing about that change? Many people are hostile to certain minorities in the State.
