We have the following in Galway and everywhere. We have endless plans - a group plan, TAPs and whatever else. We see it not only with Traveller housing but generally. The problem is that it only seems to get bigger; it does not seem to get less. People come into my office homeless and many of them are Travellers. I think it is 50% of those in Galway. There are many people on the streets and they are homeless, which is what the witnesses call on the roadside. The council had a TAP, a Traveller plan. It would have had one up to 2019 and then another one from 2019 to 2024. Did the one up to 2019 finish and the county still wind up with a large number of Travellers living on what the witnesses define as roadside?
