Ms Gr?inne Cullen:

I would like to echo what Ms O'Neill is saying. I see some familiar faces in the Gallery as well. I have been privileged to be part of the consultation processes that we have been involved in. Ms Waterhouse and I have been at quite a number of them. The stories we hear are harrowing and it really does impact on us. It drives us on so that we say that we are not going to wait for another seven years. I have stated at a number of the consultations that we absolutely must have this strategy, the implementation plans and the measures that go with those implementation plans. I know Senator Flynn echoes that, as do her colleagues in the Traveller movements. It is really important for us that we get under the hood of some of this stuff. Some of the questions Senator Flynn has asked this morning have been very useful to us because we hear about things and ask why they are that way. We ask about the reason behind it. Then, we ask about where the solutions are. We are trying to move things on. It is all grand to have an implementation plan, but this is a matter of what is going to make a difference on the ground.
