It is an important point. The disaggregated data issue does not just touch on the Traveller experience, as other cohorts and communities are affected. The further we go on with this discussion, the more it is emerging as a bigger issue than people realised.

As we are talking about different communities and challenges with mental health I would like to discuss particular groups within the Traveller community where their challenges intersect with other communities, for example, if someone is a Traveller and has a disability or is a young person who does not have access to green space or the ability to ring a mental health service if he or she needs to because of the lack of private space. Ms McDonnell referred to the specific experience of women. How can we support people where two groups or experiences intersect and there is a more complicating factor such as people with disabilities or women having a baby? I do not know who to direct that question to.
