Ms Una Boyle:

I thank Deputy Ellis for his questions and comments. I am conscious of the time. Next month, the Probation Service will launch one of its new pieces of research on informing and supporting change. This is an analysis of our supervision cases and the prevalence of substance misuse, including alcohol, across the caseload. What is significant for the groups at this meeting is that, for the first time, we are able to draw down ethnic data, including on the prevalence in the Traveller population. Those data will be used to inform our practices and the development and training of our staff. It is significant for us and I hope that it will make a difference for our service users from the Traveller community. The research will be launched by the Minister in the middle or at the end of November. A copy can be made available once it is launched.
