Mr. Hugh Friel:

It is why I wanted become a youth worker. When I was working for a different organisation, I was in a retail store and they would say that whenever the Travellers would come in one should press the button on the phone, make an announcement or something like that so that everybody in the store would know who was coming in. With me sitting there, that made me feel low. I had low self-esteem. It angered me. Channelling that anger, I wanted to do something. I wondered how other young people would challenge this. That is why I became a youth worker. I wanted to change it. The likes of these training centres should be making a dedicated target plan for young people to proceed in long-term employment.
