Written Answers - Travelling Community.

Chris Flood

Ceist:

126 Mr. Flood asked the Minister for the Environment whether each local authority had carried out in November 1996 an annual count of the travelling families in its area in pursuance of their statutory role in catering for the accommodation needs of the travelling community; if so, if he has collated at national level the count results; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7365/97]

The annual count of traveller families was carried out by local authorities on 29 November 1996. My Department is, at present, collating the returns and the results will be included in the 1996 Annual Housing Statistics Bulletin which is due for publication shortly.
