If you go onto certain sites you meet hostility and stuff and how do we break down that barrier? The perfect example is when we were on the county council that time when the Irish Traveller Movement met with the Travellers and had that consultative committee. That forum was absolutely powerful and it got rid of all the fears, the suspicion and the aggression. Whether one is a policy maker or somebody within the local council who has to implement it we need to have that good working relationship and that trust. How do we build that?
