I know we are talking about apprenticeships today but the wider issue is employment in the Traveller community. It was said this was a small spoke in a big wheel. I know this is what we should be saying in private session but we should as a committee write to a number of organisations and ask them what they are specifically doing to engage with the Traveller community and activate people. Groups who have no problem coming into us on other issues that we could get to come in on this would be IBEC, ISME, Chambers Ireland, Small Firms Association, the LEOs, the HSE, the OPW and, importantly, the City and County Management Association. What are they specifically doing to address Traveller employment or the lack thereof?
