Ms Maria Joyce:

Schools must be obliged to return clear data on the use of reduced timetables. The segregated data on Traveller pupils is important in this regard. There is also a role for the Department of Education and Skills, the education welfare service, Tusla and the inspectorate. The broader recommendations regarding supporting the inclusion, participation and attainment levels of Traveller pupils are also of key relevance. Supports need to be provided to Traveller organisations and parents in addressing that situation.
