Ms Carol Baxter:

On the new strand of accommodation, good progress has been made with the first seven sites because they have either been or are being installed. As Mr. Walsh has said, and as the Deputy knows from the Mahon site in Cork, there were problems such as Japanese knotweed. We probably underestimated how much time it would take to create a new strand entirely from scratch. We feel very confident that this programme will be a great success. The OPW will hand over the first site at the end of May and we are already working extremely hard on finalising the allocation. We have contracted the International Organization for Migration to work with families in the Cork-Kerry area who are in hotels to move into modular units. The families will move in the next couple of weeks.
