Vol. 475 No. 2

Written Answers. - Report of Task Force on the Travelling Community.

Desmond J. O'Malley

Question:

34 Mr. O'Malley asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the person responsible for the monitoring of progress on the implementation of the recommendations in the report of the Task Force on the Travelling Community; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4511/97]

As I have stated in reply to similar parliamentary questions, members of the Government are answerable for those aspects of the report which are within their respective areas of responsibility. For example, housing and halting sites are matters for the Department of the Environment and local authorities, health services are a matter for the Department of Health and health boards and education services are a matter for the Department of Education. I continue to maintain an active interest in the implementation process.

In regard to my area of responsibility, the employment equality and equal status Bills are at present before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
