Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Travellers in Prison: Discussion

10:30 am

Ms Saoirse Brady:

Yes. They will certainly be alerted to this conversation anyway through their media monitoring I am sure. They will know about it. They are definitely open to it. Again, it probably comes down to resourcing. They did do a really effective thematic inspection that was published earlier this year on psychiatric care in prisons. I believe they would welcome the support of this committee for them to do that.
