Mr. Niall ? Donnabh?in:

The Deputy's question also speaks to the question asked by Deputy Ó Cuív about where we stand at the moment. We got confirmation of stage 2 funding on Monday. Our commitment to the process is shown by the fact we have been building this in the background. To return to Deputy Ó Cuív's point about timelines, we have not been waiting. We have been working in the background and doing all the relevant engagements with the local Traveller accommodation consultative committee, LTACC, and the advocates. There has been considerable engagement. I know there is upset about the amount of communication that is likely to register through the Part 8 process. However, we have been open with the public and everybody involved because the project has to get done from everyone's perspective. In that context, we go forward now. A critical part of the Traveller accommodation programme, TAP, and its roll-out was that we agreed to engage in a formal consultation process, as we have done with the families. Before we go anywhere, we are engaging with the families themselves to tell them what is happening and where we are going with it. We need everybody on board so that everybody has bought into the same concept, which we hope is the case with respect to the families. The advocates, LTACC and ward members will be the same. From a consultation point of view, before we go to public consultation, which is a minimum of six weeks, we will brief the public. It will allow the public to come to us during an open session day to go through the documents and drawings, exactly what we are doing, why and how. We will roll that out and be specific. My experience is that at public consultation, time is ticking and people are trying to mobilise a response. In this case, we are going to be out in front of it in advance of the public consultation and kicking off. People will be afforded the opportunity for a full day to come in and discuss issues with our design team, a full project implementation team of architects, engineers and us. What will then likely happen is that those community or residence groups will come together and through that dedicated consultation period of six weeks, we will meet with those groups-----
