I move amendment No. 6:

In page 8, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following: “(b) to provide land for the provision of Traveller specific accommodation,”.

I will speak on the amendment briefly as it is self-explanatory. It proposes to change the purpose of the Act to include provision of land for Traveller-specific accommodation.

Amendment No. 7 does the same thing with regard to asylum seekers or accommodation for those seeking asylum. We will come to that.

Amendment No. 31 amends the Bill in respect of the Traveller community. The purpose is to develop or facilitate the development of local authority sites for the housing of Travellers in a manner that is culturally appropriate and complies with the Traveller accommodation strategy prepared by the local authority concerned.
