Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion

10:30 am

Professor Amanda Haynes:

Yes. Once we recognise what a problem is, we can start to advocate for addressing and developing solutions for it. We are not even at the stage in this country where we can do that. Not only do we not have data on the ethnicity of people who are stopped and searched, including members of the Traveller community, we do not have records of stop-and-search activities.
