I move amendment No. 16:

In page 6, to delete lines 32 to 34 and substitute the following: “(c) the reference to “national or ethnic origin” includes reference to membership of the ethnic group within the Nation known as “Travellers”, and also known as “Mincéirí” or “Pavees”,”.

This amendment introduces a specific reference to “the ethnic group within the Nation known as ‘Travellers’, and also known as ‘Mincéirí’ or ‘Pavees’,”, which has, as we know, ethnicity recognition. I am interested to hear what the Minister has to say.
