I will start by asking for some information. We have two pink documents - one dealing with Ireland and the other with Romania. A set of figures is given, one of which is the Roma population. The estimate for the number of Roma in Ireland is 3,000. The Council of Europe estimate, however, refers to approximately 37,500. I cannot figure out these two charts, so could someone explain them later?
