I again thank Dr. Muldoon and Ms Ward for this outstanding report, No End in Site. It is to be hoped that the future will look bright for Traveller children and we will not have to see other generations of children growing up in dire accommodation. I, too, am of the mindset that every recommendation is important. As I said, it is not about recreating the wheel. Many of the answers are in the report of the special expert group that was set up in 2019 and reported in that year. That is important. I again thank Dr. Muldoon and Ms Ward on behalf of the Traveller community. I rarely speak on behalf of the 40,000 people in the Traveller community but in this case, I will do so and say "Thank you" for this report.
