Mr. Brian Geaney:

I am raising that in the context of the Deputy’s next question on the Part 8 being approved by our own members. Despite the number of submissions received and the number of concerns raised by some people in the settled community, the Traveller accommodation programme was approved by council with the principle of the redevelopment of Spring Lane. I do not want to predetermine the council not approving the Part 8. It would be unfair for us to speculate on that. We work very closely with our own members and council. In the past two councils, no Part 8 for a housing proposal has failed. We will work with our local council, the Traveller community in Spring Lane and the settled community with regard to the consultation for this Part 8 process, which will be presented to our own council for decision. It would be unfair to speculate that the council would not approve it.
