Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Traveller Education: Discussion
Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Deputy. I thank Mr. Bernard Joyce, director of the Irish Traveller Movement, Ms Tracey Reilly from Pavee Point, and Ms Maria Joyce, co-ordinator of the National Traveller Women’s Forum. As Chair, I try to be as fair as possible in getting everybody in. Unfortunately, with Covid, all of our meetings are restricted to two hours. The two-hour ruling is strict. I thank all the witnesses for coming to share their insight and knowledge about this issue. It has been beneficial for the committee's ongoing work in this area. It has gone on for a number of weeks. The witnesses' dedication and commitment to Traveller education came across genuinely. There are many other questions I would like to have asked about school meals and such. Unfortunately, our two hours is up. I thank the witnesses.
