Mr. Bernard Joyce:

I will not repeat what others have said. With regard to the public service duty, established in section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act, there should be compliance. As colleagues have said, the suicide rate in the Traveller community is not at crisis point but beyond it. The recommendations need to be hammered home to the Cabinet. I am not sure what other community Travellers could compare their statistics with. If they do not ring alarm bells and if they are not regarded as indicating a crisis, what value does it put on Traveller life in Ireland? No alarm bells would mean the political establishment giving a very wrong message.
