Thank you, Mr. Doorley. On that same point, Mr. Joyce gave us a figure of approximately 50,000 in terms of the size of the Traveller community. Does he have any idea how many Travellers are on the electoral register? Has any research been done on that? If people are on the register and their voting card arrives, there is a possibility they will vote but if they are not on the register, they are never going to vote. It is a fairly obvious thing to say but if we can get people registered, that will make a difference. Is there greater engagement among the younger cohort of the Traveller community in terms of those things that are driving young people to become more active in politics? Has Mr. Joyce had the opportunity to research that?
