Joint Oireachtas Committee On Key Issues Affecting The Traveller Community
Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Paul Benson:
The Deputy may be aware that the Minister visited Spring Lane over the summer. We have scheduled monthly meetings with Cork City Council. There is good work going on, with mediators appointed to get baseline data on who is on the site, what their preferences are, where they will be accommodated and what the extension plans will be at Ellis's Yard. All of these issues are under discussion and we will make progress.
