I also was not in a position to attend as I was in the Seanad taking Commencement Matters at noon yesterday. I expect to publish the Traveller health action plan before the summer recess. It does not just relate to mental health; it also covers a suite of measures for Travellers relating to social protection, housing, access to education and access to apprenticeships. Considerable work has been done on the mental health aspect. In December, I allocated €365,000 to the HSE for equipment to support Travellers to work in a blended approach for delivery of recovery and engagement. In addition, €302,000 was allocated through the National Office for Suicide Prevention last year to support Traveller-specific mental health and suicide prevention services. Hopefully, the action plan will be published before the summer recess.
