I warmly welcome the comments of the Taoiseach yesterday on the move to recognise Traveller ethnicity. This is long overdue and has been welcomed by many organisations, including Traveller advocacy organisations and human rights and equality organisations. A report is to go to the social affairs committee but the House would like to know when we can expect the introduction of the legislation so we can vote and send a unanimous signal to the Traveller community that we recognise its ethnicity and value its contribution to our society.
