My final question refers to the connection with the early childhood sector and early childhood education. Does the Department have a view on Traveller-specific preschools - there are some - or integration? It is a hugely important area of the welfare and development of any young person. From a Traveller perspective, it is vital we begin in those formative early years and it can lead them onto a path of staying in education. It is around the connection. I am sure the forum looked at this. Some of the projects may have had on-site specific Traveller preschools and in many cases, it is about trying to encourage Traveller families to participate in preschool education.
