Ms Eileen O'Shea:

I would say Ms Carmody, Ms O'Donoghue, Mr. O'Sullivan and everyone here is probably blue in the face campaigning. It should not be the responsibility of Traveller organisations and the Traveller community. At this stage, it is more of a public health issue in terms of the mental health of over 40,000 to 50,000 citizens of Ireland. We demand support from a national campaign led by the State. This Bill, the Traveller culture and history Bill, is one of those that is such a part of it but, as we said earlier to the former Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, it is a collective approach and it has to be led from the top. I often use the example of the anti-smoking campaign. With the intent, things can change. We can change minds very positively with the will but it has to be collective and to come from the top.
