Mr. Dermot Mahon:

Some of them are to deal with the existing issues on two sites in the city that will essentially have to close. We do not own one of the sites and the conditions on the other are not great. We need to close that site over time and provide alternative accommodation supports for those families who have requested a particular form of support, that is, Traveller-specific accommodation as opposed to a standard local authority house.

In our next TAP, which we will be drafting very soon, we will look at additional schemes required across the city whether they are the typical group housing scheme or our culturally appropriate Traveller accommodation schemes.
