There are a number of actions in the National Traveller and Roma Inclusion Strategy (NTRIS) which fall fully, or partly, under the remit of my Department. They are under the education, children & youth, gender equality, and public services themes and are as follows:
| Action number | Theme |
|---|---|
| 10, 12 – 13 incl., 15, and 17 | Education |
| 38 – 40 incl., 47 – 49 incl., and 52 - 54 incl. | Children and Youth |
| 99 – 100 incl., 102 -103 incl., and 106 | Gender Equality |
| 143, 145, and 148 - 149 incl. | Public Services |
Officials from my Department attend the NTRIS Steering Group, which is chaired by Minister Stanton, Minister of State for Equality, Immigration and Integration. The Steering Group, whose work which is coordinated by the Department of Justice and Equality, meets on a quarterly basis. The Strategy can be found on the Department of Justice and Equality's website at:
