Yes, there needs to be leadership. The problem among the Traveller community is extremely acute, particularly regarding homelessness. We discuss this in the report. The number of homeless Travellers in Dublin indicates that their risk of homelessness is ten times higher than that of the settled population. There is no doubt that leadership is extremely important. While the policies at national level could do with some reform, they are generally strong. The problem is with implementation.
