Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Niall ? Donnabh?in:

I would be confident because we have engaged with them as to their specific requirements. We will answer those requirements and needs. As referenced in our Traveller accommodation plan, we have seven authorised sites. We have one unauthorised site we are aware of. We engage with the family, but it is on a private site. They have occupied that site for a period. We will, always and ever, engage with every Traveller family in the city as regards their need. At the same time, however, there is a limit to moving people should they not wish to be moved.
