Mr. Martin Collins:

I would like to make one brief comment and to put one question to the Chairman. The Good Friday Agreement refers to equal rights North and South of the Border. As already stated, under the Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997, Travellers in the North are recognised as a distinct ethnic minority group. The Irish Government has an obligation to harmonise our legislation with the legislation that pertains in the North of Ireland. It is important to make that point. The 1997 Order is an internationally binding agreement, as many people here will know.

In terms of this process, when will it be completed and will the report be tabled on the floor of the Dáil?
