Professor Amanda Haynes:

That is a really good question. I can say that the level of satisfaction with the Garda among members of the general population when they report a crime is very high, with 61% satisfied compared with 15% of Travellers. I do not have the specific figures offhand but the data on public satisfaction comes from the Garda public attitudes survey. The data are broken down by age, gender and social class, if I remember correctly. I do not believe there are striking differences. There are some differences by social class but not to the degree that we see with the Traveller community.
