Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Patrick O'Sullivan:
Ultimately, the local authority on the ground has the expertise. We are there to pay for the demands of the local authority and the work it does in estate management at the local level. The Deputy is absolutely right that estate management is key. It costs money and we are prepared to fund that to a percentage.
