This question concerns the recent revelations that only a tiny fraction of moneys allocated for Traveller-specific accommodation are being drawn down by local authorities. This has a significant impact on all Traveller families but particularly on children. What is the Minister going to do about this? It has been a problem for several years, not just on her watch. Now that apparently we have more moneys than we used to, it is particularly outrageous that they are not being accessed.
