Ms Cliodhna O'Neill:

I thank Senator Flynn very much for the invitation. When it was mentioned earlier, I was hoping we would get one, so I thank the Senator. We will certainly ensure that there is representation from the Department. We are listening avidly to the Traveller community through all the consultations we have had. I was very struck when I had lunch at the Cineáltas launch with a number of young Traveller girls from Cork.

They asked me a lot about my job. Two of them told me it sounded it really boring, and one of them told me she was definitely going to boot me out of it and take it in due course, so I look forward to that day.
