Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion (3 Oct 2024)

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion (3 Oct 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: How would that set of figures compare with figures for people living in highly disadvantaged areas who are not Travellers?

Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Irish Travellers’ Access to Justice Report: Discussion (3 Oct 2024)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I would like to find out whether, in the same housing estates, the non-Traveller population experiences half that level, one third of it or whatever, or if there is a slight difference with the rest of the community. I have lived in different communities in my life. I deal with people from all sorts of communities and I see different attitudes not so much driven by so-called social class...

They decriminalise small amounts...
