Matters in relation to traveller accommodation fall under the remit of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

The new Programme for Government sets out our ambition to accelerate housing supply, recognising housing as the biggest social and economic challenge.

In the programme, we have set out our commitment to supporting vulnerable households, which includes ensuring the full drawdown of Traveller Accommodation Funds.

Issues relating to Traveller Accommodation will remain a priority for the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, along with the Ministers of State, as they work to implement the commitments under the Programme for Government.
