PROBLEM
fl.tits April meeting the Communi ty Council passed unanimously the following two resolutions: (I) That a new County Plan for the settlement of itinerants be drawn up this plan to be based on the even distribution of itinerant families throughout the County. It is proposed that the parish be taken as the unit and that a quota of itinerant families be located in each of the other forty-two parishes in Cn. Limerick, taking into account the populatior ~ of the parish and the number of itinerant families already resident in the pari sh . (2) We propose that Kilmallock Parish has alr~ady exceeded its quota and that no further itinerant family be housed or located in the parish. It is also proposed that a Prl"lhibition Ol-der be introduced immediately banning the parking of caravans within t~e parish of Kilmallock and that proper living facilities be provided for itinerants in the I"Ither parishes in Co. Limerick. A copy of these resolutions was forwardedvuo Limerick County Council. The May meeting of the Community Council was informed that no reply was received from Limerick.
