Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion
2:00 am
Maurice Quinlivan (Limerick City, Sinn Fein)
My colleagues raised the point that some local authorities would be better and more proactive than others. Some of the figures that jump out at us are that Leitrim and Monaghan drew down nothing in 2024. There could be reasons for that. Cork council only drew €26,000, which seems impossible for Cork council, given the number of Travellers. It would be bizarre to think that but there might be factors as to why that happened. Mr. O'Sullivan might explain what those are.
