Ms Siobhán McArdle:

One other matter we wanted to speak about was how to engage with older persons. Ms Deirdre O’Reilly has a good example of this in that it is not just gender that can be a barrier but age as well. There is some good work happening in Kerry and in other projects where, having engaged older project workers, they are reaching out to older people and looking at the more specific issues to do with ill health in the older members of the Traveller community.
