Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Traveller Education: Discussion
Ms Tracey Reilly:
I was cut off a moment ago, so Ms Joyce and Mr. Joyce may have covered some of my points. In short, racism is the key issue. The guidelines due on reduced timetables need to be promptly published. The timetables should not be used to discriminate against Travellers and they should be monitored meticulously. The Traveller Culture and History in Education Bill needs to be supported as a first and essential step to include all who are now part of Ireland.
