Where do Travellers Want to Live? Results from the TAP survey revealed a range of location preferences amongst respondents. One third of respondents chose one of Cork City’s urban towns, such as Blarney and Ballincollig, as their first preference. 4% of respondents indicated that they would prefer to live in one of the City’s hinterland settlements like Killeens.
Less than 1% identified an inner-city neighbourhood as their first preference.
What Type of Houses Do Travellers Want to Live In? As part of the TAP Survey, Travellers were asked what type of housing they would consider moving to. Respondents showed a strong preference for Local Authority Housing (52%) and Group Housing Schemes (44%). Only 4% were open to moving to a halting site. This reflects a broader trend of more Travellers choosing permanent housing over halting sites or temporary accommodation. 75% of respondents considered that there was no need for a transient site. 75% Considered Transients Sites were not Needed
