Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Travellers in Prison: Discussion

10:30 am

Ms Clodagh Carroll:

I am the assistant director for children's services in Dublin north. I will hand over to Ms O'Shea but I work within Barnardos and I am here to be part of the discussion. Barnardos is grateful for the opportunity to be involved in this initiative for both learning and developing our work within the Dóchas Centre at the moment. Ms O'Shea is the project leader of this service, so I will hand over to her to talk through the details of how the service has evolved and is currently working with Traveller mothers in the Dóchas Centre.
