It is the Traveller Culture and History in Education Bill 2018 and it will be on Committee Stage on 20 November. Again, it did not just happen. There is a need to push things through constantly as committee members. To end on this note, we have a Behaviour and Attitudes survey that was done and published in 2018. It is on the general population's attitude towards members of the Traveller community and its findings are extremely worrying in today's society. I will give the last word to Deputy Stanton.
