Ms Eileen Corcoran:

In Mayo at the moment, we only have four families on an unauthorised site seeking the group housing scheme. Everybody else is seeking local authority housing. Previously, we managed that mainly through acquisitions as well as other housing supports such as RAS and the HAP scheme. That 34 is a very fluid number. It is usually due to new family formations, where family members in a house get married and their first step is nearly into a caravan until something else becomes available for them. That seems to be the way it has happened. In respect of those 34, even now, a month later, we do not have 34. There will be different families in the main than the ones who were on the previous TAP. It is a fluid number we are trying to solve in the methods they are looking at for themselves.
