Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (11 Nov 2021)

Joan Collins: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. They were detailed and informative. They also show that the Travelling community in the Prison Service are treated the same as they are in the community, or even worse.
