Maybe Ms Steinmetz, Ms O'Donovan or somebody from the Cork side can answer my final question because their membership is so much bigger. I have worked as a community worker with Traveller families over the years who really struggled when they had kids with additional needs, including Down's syndrome. What are the outcomes and extra layer of difficulties for a family coming from low levels of educational attainment in the parents, maybe low literacy, who find it harder to navigate the system that is difficult even for those with know-how, in terms of the HSE and stuff? Is there analysis or understanding of the extra difficulties for minority, migrant or Traveller families or families with poor employment and education outcomes? What are the difficulties for them when accessing services?
