Recognition of Traveller Ethnicity: Discussion
9:00 am
Ms Emily Logan:
We have spoken to officials who have been involved in this, particularly someone who has been absolutely on mission in respect of this. It is very difficult to understand or pinpoint where the problem is but there is definitely a discomfort or apprehension around this simple first step of recognition. I do not know the answer but the individuals we have spoken to have explicitly expressed their support for recognition of Traveller ethnicity.
