Mr. Tony Smithers:

We are always looking at how we can be very proactive and speed up things.

To answer the Deputy's question, on the left-hand side, Dublin City Council will now look to improve the yards and bays for the residents living there. That will incorporate it into the greater scheme of the redevelopment and hopefully make living there much more pleasurable over the next 18 months to two years, when the first build will then commence.

We have done a lot of good work in Labre Park but there is still a lot to do. We have provided some families with new homes. We have also provided people who wish to move on from Labre Park with some fantastic quality homes. I will give the Deputy an example of culturally appropriate housing. We worked very closely with BTAP. We acquired two or three homes close to Labre Park. We worked with the families, BTAP and other people to adapt the houses and to make them culturally appropriate. We even got to a stage where we incorporated a facility to allow a touring caravan to be placed safely within the fire regulations. If the members of those families wish to tour or travel they can do that and still have a place to come home to. We are always listening in our work. We are always guided by the Travelling community on these issues.

I have another bit of good news. I know it was mentioned in connection with Galway. Under the dormant accounts funding we are providing two new play facilities, one on the south side and one on the north side. One will go into Labre Park. We are working with Clúid on where we place the playground so that it will be permanent and we do not have to take it up or remove it. We are working very strategically. The other playground will be placed in St. Dominic's on the north side. We are working very hard. I hope that answers the Deputy's questions.
