Mr. Tony Smithers:

We do have an animal policy for dogs including banned breeds. That goes across all of our tenancies. We have an animal welfare section that looks after that. That particular section also looks after any complaints about dogs or the welfare of horses. Labre Park was mentioned. There was a huge consultation previously with Clúid Housing in Labre Park. Horses were part of the overall redevelopment. There is the equine centre in the Cherry Orchard area, and other horse projects. We are due to meet the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine with Fingal County Council in the next several weeks on the overall welfare of animals, including horses, particularly in the Dunsink area. That will happen.

I will let Ms Doyle come in on TAP. Nothing was done in the 2014-18 period, which was mentioned. I will let Ms Doyle come back in on the current programme. Progress was made on the TAP from 2019 and then Covid came along. We have re-engaged and we have made progress. I will let Ms Doyle outline the progress we have made on certain sites. I hope that by the end of the year when the TAP ends, we will be on site and building.

In terms of our priorities, process is involved in regard to capital redevelopment projects. We have to look at sites and where people live and make sure they are maintained and upgraded so that people are not living in substandard accommodation. As the senior executive officer over the Traveller accommodation, I know that in all that is done we sometimes have to prioritise our resources and work to make sure some of the sites are up to an acceptable living standard. It might be great to build a nice shiny new house five years down the line, but we have to adapt and realise that people are living in certain conditions here and now. As a local authority we have to address those needs as well, so we do prioritise things at times. I will let Ms Doyle come in on where we are at with the TAP now. I will let Ms Farrell, the senior social worker, from Dublin City Council come in on the count. I hope that is okay for Deputy Collins.
