I thank the witnesses for the presentation. It is absolutely shocking and unbelievable that the rate of suicide among Traveller men is seven times higher than the average. It is shocking when one hears this in black-and-white terms. If they get a chance, the witnesses might comment on how this issue can be dealt with as this is a national disgrace.
