I agree wholeheartedly with the Minister's approach. It is important and a matter of changing attitudes. We will reap the benefits with more people coming into the workforce and more education within the Travelling community, which will be of benefit to everybody and to create that as a norm rather than an exception. I cannot let the moment go without asking how the Minister got on in Mountbellew at the agricultural college. If they were to do veterinary courses we would have a situation where people locally, including Travellers, could become vets in Galway or across the country. I know the Minister met them last Friday and I wonder how that went.
