Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Joan Collins (Dublin South Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source
One of the issues that arose in the last couple of meetings is the implementation of the ethnic identifier which was recommended in the National Intercultural Health Strategy 2007-2012. It still has not happened. Also, there was the issue of the Central Statistics Office, CSO, basing it on accommodation, but only 6% of Travellers live on halting sites. That has to change as well from the point of view of an ethnic identifier. What is the Minister of State's position on that? Is that part of an implementation plan?
