Mr. Patrick O'Sullivan:

I agree with the Deputy's broad position. I have to be totally upfront with him. We are not denying there are continuing challenges for the Traveller community in accommodation throughout the country. I have never said we have resolved all the Traveller accommodation problems. The Deputy is right and I fully support what he said. We work on a daily , weekly and annual basis in engaging directly with local authorities to drive that delivery. I welcome the engagement at political and local level in driving the delivery. The Deputy is right that the challenges are there. We must meet those challenges head-on. We are doing our best at a national level to ensure the funding and frameworks are in place and to engage with local authorities at local level.
