Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community

Traveller Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. John Meehan:

That is something we can consider.

All other Departments involved in Connecting for Life, including the Department of Health, the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Education and Skills, are involved in it. I agree that, through the chairman of the group, we need to consider expanding it. The NGO sector is represented. As Senator Freeman said, having a public representative at national level would provide support in that regard.
