It is encouraging to hear that. That aside, from what we have been listening over the past couple of months, Ireland's reputation and its leadership of equality and human rights in law and in principle is one thing, but the reality of the situation for Travellers and Roma in Ireland is something very different. It has to manifest itself in a way that is meaningful in the lives of Travellers and Roma.
