The Joint Committee on Key Issues Affecting the Traveller Community will meet on September 26 to address the experiences of Travellers in the prison system. With representatives from organizations like the Irish Penal Reform Trust, the committee will explore the high incarceration rates of Travellers—less than 1% of the population but 8% of male, 16% of female, and 21% of detained children. Discussions will include the use of ethnic identifiers for equality monitoring and improving trust in the justice system.
