Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Niall ? Donnabh?in:
That brings us to the modular aspect, which we talked about earlier and which is a matter we are actively considering. It is interesting that there has been no significant demand in our local authority. There are 31 loans allocated and 29 applications at the back end. As I referenced earlier, that is a feature of the fact that we have been in the process since 2021. Traveller families are becoming more aware of and used to it. The Deputy asked about a rental scheme. Perhaps an alignment with the modular prospect at a pilot level, as Mr. Gilligan mentioned, could be interesting.
