I am advised that none of the recommendations contained in the report of the Joint Committee on Key Issues Affecting the Traveller Community in November 2021 referenced by the Deputy are addressed to my Department.

As the Deputy will be aware, the National Traveller and Roma Inclusion Strategy 2017-2021 (NTRIS) is the Government policy framework for addressing the health and other needs of Travellers and Roma. Monitoring of the NTRIS is led by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. My Department is represented on the Steering Committee chaired by Minister O’Gorman which meets quarterly to report on the implementation of the strategy.
