I would add to that and say there is a settled privilege going on that requires that members of the Traveller community speak out about their lived experiences. We see this across other groups. Last week, at the Joint Committee on Disability Matters, we heard of an ability privilege. We need to hear the lived experiences of people. This report is horrific, as are the statistics in regard to Traveller suicide. Across all of the demographics, the statistics in regard to Travellers are much higher per capitathan for any other group in society. That is appalling. It behoves us as a committee, and as a Parliament, to do everything we can to facilitate and speak on behalf of Travellers. I am aware Ms Murtagh would like to come in.
