Ms Bridget Kelly:

With regard to the Cathaoirleach's question, we would have consultation with our members about the caravan loan scheme. That was with all our members. There was huge discussion of the issues that had arisen out of the caravan loan scheme. It was not just the National Traveller Women's Forum saying that we wanted an independent review. We were in consultation with all our members and it was our members who said let us call for an independent review of the caravan loan scheme because of all the issues that came up today. There are other members who would add more to the issues that are arising with the scheme. That is why we called for the independent review. We do not know whether it is going to happen. They are looking at doing it, but I know what people have said here today regarding the caravan loan scheme. While it does not suit some, it does suit others. The review will bring all that up and then coming out of the review, maybe the Department then will say let us scrap it and look at the rental scheme. However, that is what we brought to the table based on what we were told. We consulted with our members and that is what we were asked to bring.
