Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Participation in Education: Department of Education and Youth (17 Jul 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: I apologise for being late for the start of the meeting. I was in the Dáil speaking but I read the opening statement before the meeting. I have a few questions on it. The issue I am concerned about is not one on which I am speaking off the top of my head. I spoke about it to several teachers and others in education across Limerick, particularly in the past couple of weeks, because...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Participation in Education: Department of Education and Youth (17 Jul 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: I will go back to the question of what the most important thing is we should do to make sure Traveller children go to school as regularly as the general population goes to school.

We can throw all the money we want...

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Participation in Education: Department of Education and Youth (17 Jul 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: My time will probably be up shortly. The key for this has to be how we get parents to interact with schools. We have lost a generation and the generation before that, some of whom are still alive. How do we interact with them to explain how important it is for their children to go to school? The only way we can get many them out of poverty is if they get the education we are looking for....

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Participation in Education: Department of Education and Youth (17 Jul 2025)

Maurice Quinlivan: To finish, I want to emphasise that we have to get parental buy-in on this and we have to look at some projects to do that. If projects are there at the moment, they are not working as successfully as we wish. We are going to be here again for years with the same problem unless we address the issue of parental involvement.

Committee on Disability Matters: Progressing the Delivery of Disability Policy and Services: Discussion (Resumed) (16 Jul 2025)
