Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Benson:
It is a recommendation of the group in the context of the observation that regional assemblies seem to have very little oversight of or role in the provision of Traveller accommodation. I certainly think there is a role for them in respect of the network of transient sites. If we believe a regional approach is the correct approach in that regard, they could be brought on board. It is one of the recommendations. It is not in the current work programme but it will be in a work programme ultimately and will be dealt with.
