Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community

Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Andrea Fitzgerald:

I will give a bit of context in terms of where I am coming from. I am a front-line service manager with Galway Simon Community.

I have responsibility for a prevention service in County Galway. I am also the regional co-ordinator for Housing First across Galway, Roscommon and Mayo. Prevention is a huge part of the work we try to carry out. Our work is underpinned by trying to avoid people having to enter into the emergency accommodation available. There may be other relevant questions on that later but I think the questions are geared towards Mr. Dillon from Cena.
