Halting site conditions
4. Traveller rights groups have welcomed a new long-term report which has recommended improvements to living conditions at a Cork halting site which activists say has the potential to change conditions at sites across the country.
The Traveller Visibility Group (TVG) and the Cork Traveller Women’s Network (CTWN) said the findings of a report show that the poor conditions at the site are negatively impacting the rights of the children living there.
This is the Ombudsman’s first report which examined the living conditions of Traveller children at one particular halting site in Cork. The report looked at the conditions for a period of three years, which makes it one of the largest complaints that the OCO has investigated.
