Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Human Rights and International Standards for Traveller and Roma Communities: Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission

Mr. Liam Herrick:
Resources will be an aspect of it. We have done quite detailed analysis. We are in ongoing engagement with the Department of Children, Disability and Equality on this and what the fundamental requirements of the legislation will be. The Government has said it will shortly indicate whether it intends to introduce self-standing legislation to implement these directives or whether they will be encompassed in the equality, family leave and miscellaneous provisions Bill which is already on the agenda of the Oireachtas. A decision needs to be taken on the management of the legislation, which we expect will happen quite shortly.
