Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Colette Kelleher (Independent) | Oireachtas source
The point that the Senator is making is that we know that but we are also querying the competence of anybody to whom a member of the Traveller community might be referred, where they might be met by a therapist from the health services or outside of them who is capable of treating that person as an equal, and does not hold prejudice or discriminate, in a hidden manner or not. I am encouraged but sceptical of Dr. Ní Bhriain's confidence that our current mental health services are in that state.
