I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on her appointment. It is well deserved. The last time it had been a baptism of fire, because the Senator was new to the House. I know that when a new Member comes in it can be a very strange place to be, but the Senator did a fantastic job as Cathaoirleach of the committee. Good progress was made. We have the report. There was a key line in that report that said there are plenty of reports, but action on the ground is now needed to make a material difference to the lives of Travellers and to make sure they get fair treatment right across the board in Irish society. We have a huge challenge ahead of us to now focus on the delivery of change. We have enough paper now; action is what is needed. Comhghairdeas, a Chathaoirligh, agus go n-éirí leat. I look forward to this committee being part of that effecting of change.
