Ms Bridget Kelly:

MrPRICE is one of the champion employers out there, along with the likes of the ESB. MrPRICE has taken on 30 Travellers in the past couple of months across all its stores. We also share the case study in which it has taken on a young Traveller woman as an apprentice financial accountant within its stores. It has been very supportive of members of the Traveller community. It is great to see but we need to see more employers like MrPRICE, ESB and Irish Rail. We are willing to meet with all employers, but they need to be inclusive of Traveller apprentices along with other marginalised communities within the workforce.
