I am thinking about UK examples such as those in the Stephen Lawrence report, and also about institutional sexism within the Metropolitan Police and such challenges. I take the point on recognition.

I pay tribute to the witnesses. Having engaged with one in 60 Traveller adults in the State adds to the authenticity and voice of the report. The findings really reflect community experience. It is up to us policymakers and people with access to the levers of power to read the report and ensure it is implemented. I thank Professor Haynes.
