Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Patrick O'Sullivan:

It has projects in planning but it has not brought them to fruition where it is starting to draw down expenditure. As I mentioned earlier to the member asking the question on timelines, there can be very extended timelines. A local authority could go a whole year or a couple years where it would not have any expenditure, even though it is planning projects in the background for delivery. Community engagement is key for all delivery but particularly for the Traveller community. That adds to the timeframe as well.
