Irish Travellers Forum

In 2003, the strategic role and responsibility for the provision of accommodation for Irish Travellers was transferred from local District Councils to the Housing Executive under the Housing (NI) Order 2003.

The Housing Executive published its Irish Travellers Accommodation Strategy 2021-2026 in July 2021 which sets out how we plan to provide Irish Travellers with access to affordable, good quality, culturally appropriate housing accommodation which fosters a sustainable, vibrant Irish Traveller community and promotes inclusion, a sense of belonging and security.

You can read more about the Strategy in our section:

This Strategy is a priority for the Housing Executive and we look forward to working with partners in its delivery.

This page will post the minutes from the Housing Executive’s Irish Traveller Forum meetings and key information relating to the ongoing delivery of the strategy.
