The Deputy has asked his question. I call on the Taoiseach.

Committee Report on Key Issues Affecting the Traveller Community: Statements
In response to Deputy Lahart, we certainly have had members of the Traveller community working in the House, although sadly not enough. You made a very valid point and it is something I will personally take up with the Public Appointments Service. We might encourage Deputies, Senators and the political parties to look to the Traveller community when they are employing staff. I call Deputy Ellis.

Committee Report on Key Issues Affecting the Traveller Community: Statements
I thank Deputy McAuliffe. Before I call Deputy Ó Cuív, and then the Minister of State to respond, I also want to make some remarks. I apologise to Senator Flynn for not being here when the debate started a little earlier than was scheduled. I also thank her, and former Senator Colette Kelleher before her, for the outstanding work they have done.
