Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Aileen Tierney:
It is important that we focus on mental health. Mental health is an individual discourse at times but we need to remember to embed equality across all social infrastructure. While I did not address education so much today, if we do not look at access to education and employment, as well as inequality in societal infrastructure, we are not addressing where the difficulties in mental health come from. They do not just come from the individual but also from societal inequality.
