Provision of Traveller Accommodation: Discussion
9:30 am

Those seeking private rental accommodation very often do not say they are Travellers because they anticipate possible discrimination. Given there is so much reliance on the private rental sector, it is a serious problem if access to such accommodation is de facto ruled out because of discrimination. People should not have to pretend to be other than who they are. That is a major issue which must be addressed.
