Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Dillon:

It is very strange to be honest. We are just mystified because this was approved. This was a very specific recommendation by the expert review group. We worked on a very detailed proposal. We had a completely positive commitment from four of the largest approved housing bodies in Ireland.

We got as far as drawing up a service level agreement to resource the two staff we would have needed to implement this, but have not had a response. It has not been moved forward in the past two years. We do not know why. However, I welcome what the Cathaoirleach said. We will submit the proposal to people here. They can look at it and make up their minds about it.
