Caravan Loan Scheme As noted in Section 2, Cork City Council has administered 32 loans under this scheme to members of the Traveller Community since 2021. However, the pre-draft submission by Traveller MABS is acknowledged and it is noted that while the maximum loan available under the scheme is for €40,000 , the cost of purchasing a residential standard caravan/mobile, suitable for year around living, and that conforms to British Standard BS 3632 in terms of energy efficiency and thermal insulation is between €60,000 and €70,000. It is noted that the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage is currently undertaking a review of the pilot caravan loan scheme whose recommendations, Cork City will take account of once advised.
