View answerThe Government is committed to improving the lives of the Traveller and Roma Communities in Ireland. Across all of Government, a wide range of specific and targeted policy approaches, designed in consultation with Traveller and Roma community representatives, are in place to pursue those improved outcomes and bring about far greater inclusion across all of Irish society
The recommendations contained in the Report of the Special Oireachtas Committee on Key issues affecting the Traveller Community will inform the next iteration of the National Traveller and Roma Inclusion Strategy. The Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth is leading on this strategy and the support of all Government Departments will be crucial in ensuring the successor strategy will have a more outcomes focused approach.
