Professor Michelle Norris:

I support the Senator's view on the different agencies working together and on Travellers having a voice in the process. As Dr. Norton mentioned, that was the rationale for the recommendation on having a Traveller SPC. We asked whether Traveller accommodation is a standing item on the housing SPCs for different local authorities. We were informed it is in Dublin, but it varies. We thought that having a formal SPC was a much better process.
