Mr. Dermot Mahon:

We have a high proportion of Traveller families in private emergency accommodation throughout the city, including in a family hub that we developed in 2018 and a subsequent modular hub facility, which opened in 2020 and was the first such facility in the country. Approximately 40 Traveller families are availing of private emergency accommodation at present. Principally, the private rental market is not an option for Traveller families anymore.
