Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Benson:
Yes, we are aware of some of the patterns of movement. I mentioned a couple of them earlier in some of my evidence to the committee. There is a commitment in the Housing for All strategy to look at the issue of transient sites on an all-island basis in discussions with the Northern Ireland Housing Executive. I have mentioned as well that we see a role for the regional authorities here. We see potential for a regional role that would be informed by the types of issues the Vice Chairman mentioned where there is a known pattern of movement. There is a lot of work to be done on that.
