I wish to ask the Taoiseach again about the Government's commitment to recognise Traveller ethnicity. Will the Taoiseach update us on the position? A recent report of the ESRI highlighted the many areas of inequality and disadvantage confronting the Traveller community. Crucially, the report supports ethnicity. Each time I have raised this with the Taoiseach, he has said work is being done on the issue. He committed to meeting the NGO groups involved and to bringing a report to the Dáil before the end of January. It is now February. When will the Taoiseach make his report to the Dáil? When will he formally recognise the ethnicity of the Traveller community?

Last night I had a useful engagement with the representatives of the Traveller groupings at the cabinet sub-committee. As Deputy Adams is aware, the Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality, Deputy Stanton, has done a good deal of work on the question. There are a number of matters that I want to follow up on arising from last night's meeting. I expect the Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, to bring a memo to Government in the coming weeks.
