MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, February 08, 2010

HEADED ITEM NO.12

Local Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee nomination of non-Council member.

REPLY:

“The Local Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee was established by the Council in 1999 in accordance with the requirements of the Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act, 1998 and comprises members of the council, local Travellers, representatives of Traveller bodies and council officials.

Following the Local Elections which were held on the 5th June 2009, the Minister of Housing and Social Services directed that each local authority establish a new LTACC. In accordance with this ruling, South Dublin County Council Traveller Accommodation Unit sought nominations from Local Travellers and Traveller representative bodies to nominate members to the Committee.

Following the resignation of Bob Conroy as Representative of the Tallaght Traveller Community  Development Project, Christopher McDonagh, another member of the Board of Management of the TTCDP was proposed to replace him.

As the making of appointments to the Local Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee is a reserved function of the Council, the following resolution is required:

“That South Dublin County Council hereby resolves that Christopher McDonagh, 6 Belgard Road, Tallaght  and Tallaght Travellers Community Development Project be appointed to the Traveller Bodies strand of the new Local Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee in accordance with Section 22(3) of the Housing (Traveller Accommodation Act, 1998”
