Anne Costello, coordinator of the Travellers in Prison Initiative, said the Government must aim for a public sector representative of the population. “Any new public sector recruitment campaign has to have provision for targeting Travellers. We need a Government internship campaign similar to those in Australia across all government departments and public bodies,” and internships must lead to “proper” jobs. Mr Ward said there were jobs in the public service that Travellers could do and he called for all public procurement contracts to stipulate that minorities like Travellers be employed. “Let’s start by putting in some targets,” he said.

The findings confirm the concerns that Covid has the potential to regress hard-earned progress in gender equality at work. Dr Kara McGann, Head of Social Policy with Ibec, said that historically, women are disproportionately impacted by crises, disasters, and societal disruption, and Covid-19 checks all those boxes. Our survey findings confirm that Covid-19 has accentuated long standing gender imbalances across several dimensions, threatening hard won markers of gender equity, she said.
