I thank all our guests. I confirm I am in the precincts. I will address the area of casual halting sites, the possibility of having them included in county and city development plans and what work the Department is doing on that. I understand that in the Galway county development plan there are maybe four to be identified within the county. We have identified in previous sessions that there are not casual halting sites around the country. These are a key part of Traveller identity and there must be provision made to enable Travellers to move from site to site. What work is going on in that regard? Will the inclusion of these sites in county development plans be successful?
