Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community: Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Feb 2024)

Joan Collins: I thank the representatives from Dublin City Council and Galway City Council who have responsibility for the Traveller community. I thank them for the reports.

Joan Collins: I thank everyone who has come in. This is the first time I have grappled with the concept behind EnergyCloud. I have heard of it, but was not too aware of how it operates.

It seems there are a great many things going on behind the scenes between interdepartmental groups, action plans, heat plans etc. I want to go back to the point made at the very beginning which was about fairness for access to the retrofitting. I still do not believe that fairness is there. Has the interdepartmental group looked at this...
