REPLY:
The following report was APPROVED at the Organisation, Procedure and Finance Committee Meeting held on 22nd September 2011:
"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.
The following Councillors were elected to this Committee at the October 2009 Council meeting:- Councillor G. O’Connell - Chairman, Councillors C. Keane, C. King, D. Looney, and E. Maloney. The appointment of the sixth Councillor member to the Committee, Councillor E. Tuffy, was approved at the December 2009 Council meeting. Councillor C. Bond was subsequently appointed to the LTACC on foot of Councillor E. Maloney’s election to Dáil Eireann, at the April 2011 Council meeting.
A vacancy now exists on the Local Traveller Accommodation Committee following the election of Councillor C. Keane to the Seanad.
It is a matter for the Council to appoint a replacement for Councillor C. Keane to the above position and this is now before the Members for consideration."
End of Report to OP&F.
It was proposed by Councillor C. Brophy, seconded by Councillor W. Lavelle and RESOLVED:
“That Councillor Anne-Marie Dermody be nominated to fill the vacancy on the Local Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee arising from Senator Keane’s disqualification from this committee.”
This matter is now before Council for approval.
