Ms Brigid Quilligan:

By people like the Deputy and ourselves asking for that but also the education agencies such as the ETBs. In Kerry, we can have all of these people on board but the problem is they are coming up the line nationally at NTRIS or whatever the powers that be. That is why we recommended a dedicated Traveller Department to specifically consider Traveller issues and our history. We cannot be treated in isolation like we arrived in this country in 2019. We must consider our history, how we got here and try to unpack that.
