Dr. Kara McGann:

I thank the Senator for his comments. On the point he made about employer supports, and taking Ms Anne Costello's point into consideration, I think that some employers, if they were to decide now that they would like to employ members of the Traveller community, would not know where to start. Raising awareness and the piece of work Ms Meadhbh Costello has already mentioned around anti-racism and anti-discrimination need to go hand in hand as we consider how to move forward. The Senator is absolutely right when he says the time for talking is over. It is the time for action and there is willingness for that. We have engaged with employers to look at marginalised groups and how we move forward with this. We can get supports in place, put in structures around the issue and move forward with action.
