Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Brian Kennedy:
To give the Limerick perspective, there are two social workers in the team we have. They are 90% paid for out of the Traveller accommodation budget and 10% from council resources. The rest of the team, which includes a senior executive officer, a project manager - one of the first project managers in the country to be appointed - a caretaker, a community sustainment officer and an administrator, are paid from council resources.
