Call for action plan on Traveller accommodation

The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission has called on a number of local authorities to prepare and implement an Equality and Action Plan on the provision of Traveller accommodation and services.The request follows an equality review undertaken by 31 local authorities in 2019, which focused on repeated failures nationally, to draw down ring-fenced capital budgets in order to meet human rights obligations on Traveller-specific accommodation.

There was also evidence that the process for assessing the number of Travellers in a given local authority area varied from council to council, and that the process could be deficient in capturing accurate information. The local authorities are South Dublin, Limerick City and County, Tipperary, Donegal, Mayo, Cork City and Wicklow.

While IHREC has provided general guidance to the relevant local authorities to assist with the process, it has stressed that consultation with members of the Traveller community, the Local Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee, and local and national groups representing members of the Traveller community, as an essential part of the implementation and success of the plans.
