Ms Brigid Quirke:

People were asking about the differential in regard to mortality. I have a rough estimate. When we did the study we found there were 134 excess deaths, which means 134 more than would be expected if people had the same standard of living as the general population. That is 134 years so over approximately nine years that would be 1,200 excess deaths among Travellers because nothing has happened. The gap is widening, so that is likely to be an underestimation.
