Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Provision of Traveller Accommodation: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Michael Walsh:
I appreciate that but the law would not work without the other factors because the resistance would ultimately go against it. Local authority officials and chief executives do not wish to be in this space of not being able to deliver in many instances. That is desperately frustrating. Somehow we need to change this. We are not coming at this from the point of view of saying we are perfect. We are happy to put up our hands and say we are flawed in this context but we would like to see changes and that dialogue. I see this as an opportunity for that.
