-----and a consistency of approach that I find is quite frustrating for people. Then again, the other issue and a chronic challenge with youth work we encounter routinely from meeting with Youth Work Ireland is the inability to even recruit workers because of pay within the sector. That, in itself, is having a knock-on effect. I know a lot of youth organisations across the country are doing really valuable work with Traveller young people. Yet it is very frustrating to see that there is not a consistency there and the sector itself is in quite a lot of trouble.

Going back to that wraparound family support, I feel there is a very slow response at times to immediate child welfare issues. This was borne out by the witnesses we had last week from the National Traveller Women's Forum. In some cases, they may be resolved by an immediate rehousing solution to address an issue. It is about that lack of an emergency response when a very clear challenge is there with a child welfare issue. Would the witnesses have a comment specifically on that aspect?
