The Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council draft TAP said: “There is no clear agreement among Travellers living in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown on the question of transient sites.” Mr Joyce said: “Local authorities are obliged to have regard for nomadic culture in their plans, which is a whole-of-community right and not conditioned by consensus. Bypassing legislation which gives effect to that right wouldn’t stand scrutiny according to legal advice we have obtained.”
