The Traveller Accommodation Expert Review report, which is intended to improve the effectiveness of the arrangements for providing accommodation for members of the Traveller community, has 32 recommendations across 4 categories which are aimed at:
- Addressing research deficiencies;
- Removing any potential delays and obstacles in the planning system;
- Increasing resources and delivery capacity; and
- Strengthening governance arrangements.
The progress report, which provides an update on the work of the Programme Board, is available at the following link:

My Department is preparing to publish a new update on the website shortly.
