Clare stops building homes for Travellers
This follows a report showing 25% of its 10 group housing schemes — built at a cost of €20m to accommodate Travellers — is currently vacant.
The report by the Council’s Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee admits that the results of the Traveller accommodation programme is disappointing, after pointing out five of the units built have been lost through arson, while 27% of tenancies have lodged transfer requests for other housing.
