My understanding is the Department will give money to implement the report, which includes transient halting sites. It is not, therefore, coming out of the pot that will go into permanent housing. I will put it this way. If you are building an ordinary housing estate, you will put recreational facilities and public parks or whatever in. You will not say it is houses or public parks. You will say that life's experience is a totality and, for some Travellers at least, part of present life is transient sites. It would not come out of the council's money and, therefore, I am a little surprised and taken aback by what Mr. Cummins said.
