Ms Denise Doyle:

Local authority staff are threatened in standard housing as well. It is not just located in Traveller communities and I am in no way suggesting that. It is something we are facing, however. We have to be realistic. It is a constant thing. As manager, I have to look after the staff as well as the tenants. It is not every tenant. The vast majority of them are absolutely lovely to deal with and we have no issues but we will always work constructively to try to forge better relationships. Maintenance is a key part of that.
