Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Provision of Traveller Accommodation: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. John O'Connor:

As regards the private rental sector, we, along with the National Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee and the Residential Tenancies Board, produced a report last year on the experiences of Travellers in private rental accommodation and can make that available to the committee. In broad terms, two thirds of Travellers choose Traveller-specific accommodation or general social housing as their preference, while approximately one third prefer to move into general housing and the private rental sector.
