Many Travellers do not live in areas with community crèches. Living on the edge of the city it may be difficult to access one. I do not know whether Mr. McDonagh has gathered statistics on this but perhaps there could also be intervention there and a conscious programme to facilitate Traveller families to have this opportunity. I was involved in preschool education at one stage. I was in Montessori. Any data will tell us that the opportunities people get at a very early stage in their educational experience stands to them hugely later on. It might be an issue.
