An application has been received in my Department from Roscommon County Council seeking funding for extensive conversion, extension and new works to the existing Traveller specific accommodation at Turpan Beg, Ballyforan, County Roscommon which was first occupied in 2000.

I understand that, following discussions with my Department, the council is re-examining the priority of this proposal vis À vis the remainder of its Traveller accommodation programme as well as certain cost elements of the project. The matter will be further considered in the Department on receipt of clarification on these issues from the council.
