I thank Ms Sweeney for her input and just to let the committee know, she received the Traveller Pride intersectionality award this year. I know with all my heart it is not easy to come in here and tell your story as a Traveller woman. It is hard for all Traveller women, but is it even tougher when you are a mother who has come through addiction and prison, with that sense of shame. I admire Ms Sweeney coming in here today for being honest and a role model for other mothers and women within our community. I am sure the members will have questions for you.

I call Ms Carroll from Barnardos, which is so important for Traveller women in prison.
