TUS informed me of that as well, but it is good to hear it from Ms Kelly. I wish to put on record my thanks to Professor Vincent Cunnane, president of TUS, and to Ms Susan Maher, who runs that course at TUS. She is excellent at what she is trying to do.
I have a final question, which anyone can comment on. Ms Kelly mentioned the appalling situation of anti-Traveller discrimination that remains in the workplace. What steps is the organisation taking in this regard? I am not throwing it all back on the Irish Traveller Movement by any stretch of the imagination. What steps need to be taken to combat and educate employers about the impact of such discrimination?
