Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Travellers in Prison: Discussion
10:30 am
Ms Clodagh Carroll:
Part of the work Ms O’Shea and the team have been doing with Traveller women in the prison has involved Tusla. It has been a helpful part of the process. We are supporting these mothers to be able to say what they think should happen and to be part of their meetings with Tusla. Tusla has been very receptive to that. It has been a positive collaboration with mothers and their workers. Tusla sits on the advisory board as well. It is really helpful to have that collaboration and that it is part of the work we are trying to achieve. It is helpful in that regard. It is great to be progressing, too.
