Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Brendan McGrath:
The review of the Traveller accommodation programme sat on the council agenda for 18 months. I was pushing for it but it took that length of time to get support for it. The allocation was made to us in 2018 but we did not look for it - it was given to us in error. We are very definite about the money we are looking for in 2019.
I thank the Chair for taking our submission as read. We made eight recommendations to the committee and we ask the committee to look at them in its deliberations.
