MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 29, 2024

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor D. Richardson

"Can the Manager report on the upgrade of Hazel hill halting site. And make a report on how many units are in use and report on the general site in detail?"

REPLY:

There are currently 3 units occupied in Hazel Hill, one house and two bays. There is also one family living unauthorised at one of the bays on Hazel Hill.

Two of the day units in the bays have been extensively fired damaged, due to arson attacks, the Council have secured both bays, these would require extensive refurbishment works. Considerable refurbishment works would also be required to bring the Day unit at Bay 1 back in to use, this bay is also secured.

Four of the five houses on the site are vacant and secured.  The Traveller Accommodation Unit are working with the remaining families on the site to support their current housing needs and examine their future housing needs.  We are actively seeking alternative accommodation for one family on site, who have been offered a number of properties to date.

Hazel Hill is part of the Traveller Accommodation cleansing schedule whereby at least two clean ups are organised per annum / or when required.
