Ms Maria Joyce:

I will add to that point. I forgot to mention social media, even though I made a note of it. Social media, in the negative sphere, has vilified Travellers and Traveller women in this country. This is the other side of accountability and it is so important that it is addressed. It is also about political accountability to stand over the fact that we have these companies in the Irish context. Although they bring in a lot of money to this country, that does not take away from the fact that stronger protections and measures need to be brought in, even if that is in the context of the EU, which is something we have not discussed today and that has made various contributions in respect of social media. Let us make no mistake that social media has vilified Travellers.

There were a couple of Traveller women in Killarney - maybe I should not have mentioned Killarney - who took a case under legislation that I cannot recall but that we hope will be replaced by incitement to hatred legislation.
