Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Employment: Discussion
Colette Kelleher (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank Ms Burke. It is her first time before this committee. Has she presented to other committees before?
Two points made in her presentation stood out. I was interested to hear that too few Travellers were identified by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission to enable it to examine discrimination. It tells its own story. Ms Burke also mentioned that there are no targets for Travellers in Pathways to Work, which does even not mention Travellers. I thank her for raising these significant points with us. I invite Mr. James O'Leary, who is the director of Involve, to address the joint committee.
