I believe a horse project would be a valuable addition, particularly where there are LEADER companies that would be willing to step up to the plate and work with the Traveller community. This is probably separate to the issue of accommodation, given the difficulties Ms Carr outlined as regards aligning 1.5 acres with accommodation. A separate peace incorporating the LEADER companies, in association with the local authorities, would be a very welcome move. From a mental health point of view alone, it is certainly worth investigating greatly. I thank the Senator.
