Ms Cliodhna O'Neill:

No, they are not. It was a recommendation from the OECD report that there be what it termed “cultural mediators”. The two national co-ordinators are in place and we are recruiting. We are trying to make sure we do not necessarily take them from other places, although I received a complaint recently about how a body was losing one of its really good people because that person was coming to us, which is great for us. It is about ensuring that they have a good understanding of the Traveller community.
