I also wish to raise the review of fire safety in Traveller accommodation that the Government published in December 2015 following the Carrickmines tragedy which said very clearly that nothing in the fire safety review process was intended to be used to address the broader Traveller accommodation issues in a negative way. Clearly this is not a green light to evict Travellers from halting sites which do not meet fire safety standards, but instead of putting health and safety measures in place, that is exactly what the local county executive is doing and more evictions are planned for tomorrow.
