Ms Sinéad Carr:

In terms of the timeline, it can be very difficult with Traveller appropriate accommodation. For instance, most of you would be aware of a project in Cabra, in Tipperary, a number of years ago. That went on for a significant period. It was unnecessary, as it happens, but they did not move into the house until it was finished. The timelines are very difficult because different issues arise that you have to address that would not be in the normal course of events so it is difficult to cite an example. The timeline for the actual design and planning is probably the longest period and the build is the shortest period.
