I wish to ask the Taoiseach again about the Government's commitment to recognise Traveller ethnicity. Will the Taoiseach update us on the position? A recent report of the ESRI highlighted the many areas of inequality and disadvantage confronting the Traveller community. Crucially, the report supports ethnicity. Each time I have raised this with the Taoiseach, he has said work is being done on the issue. He committed to meeting the NGO groups involved and to bringing a report to the Dáil before the end of January. It is now February. When will the Taoiseach make his report to the Dáil? When will he formally recognise the ethnicity of the Traveller community?
