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 Programme Board, established on foot of the Traveller Accommodation Expert Review report, continues to make progress in delivering on implementation of the recommendations in the report. To date 14 of the recommendations have been completed.

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.
