This is our third public meeting on Traveller accommodation. On behalf of the committee I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to our witnesses today. Representing Focus Ireland, we have Ms Rosemary Hennigan, policy co-ordinator and Mr. Mike Allen, director of advocacy; representing the Housing Agency we have Mr. John O'Connor, CEO and Ms Roslyn Molloy, researcher. I suggest that the witnesses take five to ten minutes for their opening statement and then we will open up the floor to members, who will also have five to ten minutes. I invite Ms Hennigan to make her opening statement.
