MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

This Council calls on the Chief Executive, in the event of there being financial restrictions as a result of the Covid-19 or for any other reason, that the funds for  the Traveller Accommodation Programme 2019-2024 for this County be safeguarded and that the planned programme be fully implemented and that in any associated discussions he or the Director of Housing have with Government Departments that they convey the determination of the elected members that the said Traveller Accommodation Programme be fully funded and resourced.  

REPORT:

Funding for the capital programme associated with the delivery of the Council's Traveller Accommodation Programme 2019-2024 is provided by the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.  The ongoing commitment and support of the Elected Members for the delivery of this programme and the importance of delivery of the Traveller accommodation required in the County underpin ongoing engagements with the Department in this regard.
