Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Colette Kelleher (Independent) | Oireachtas source
The Minister of State seems to accept that there is a crisis among Travellers around mental health and he does not dispute the figures, prevalence and scale, which is important. The all-Ireland Traveller health study 2010 is out of date although we still rely on it. The Irish Traveller Movement has estimated that there have been 30 deaths to the end of August. On what data does the Minister of State base his Department's response to the mental health crisis? I have more questions.
