Ms Tracey Reilly:

To add to what Ms Joyce said, our message of the day is that money needs to follow the child, to support all Travellers who get to third level. All education is a connected process as well as an individual achievement. The role of the national Traveller organisations here today and the important support of local Traveller organisations require resourcing and support. Travellers have a right to education as themselves and as role models and many of us are determined to do the best that we can. Our education is our right, however, and the public sector duty needs to be used to help to create jobs.
