Approximately six months ago I was talking about extra activities for Travellers. A young girl wanted to start Irish dancing, but did not have the money to do it. I asked myself who I could contact to get this child the support to go into Irish dancing. Again, I signposted the mother back to the local community. Can we maybe look at special additional funds for Travellers who want to be part of football clubs or things like Irish dancing? A young Traveller child may want to be a ballerina and should have the opportunity to do it. Cost should not be a problem. I think that was an interesting point the Deputy made earlier.
