Kerry County Council has controversially ruled out giving a commitment to provide transient halting sites for Travellers attending the big summer festivals there.
The revised Traveller Accommodation Programme for the county merely undertakes for the local authority to give assistance with the seasonal influx of Travellers for such events "where possible".
The organisers of famous Kerry festivals such as Puck Fair in Killorglin and the Rose of Tralee had said they could not take responsibility for the Traveller situation.
The Puck Fair festival committee objected strenuously to initial proposals that it would be solely responsible for providing Travellers with somewhere to stay.
Travellers attending fairs and festivals were generally traders, the county council's director of services, Charlie O'Sullivan, said.
Traveller families can experience difficulties accessing commercial camping sites in Kerry and the council is now to set up a subcommittee to examine this, Mr O'Sullivan said.
Initially, the council proposed that responsibility for providing accommodation for all campers and caravan-owners - including Travellers - visiting festivals would rest with festival organisers in the county's new three-year programme.
Chairman of Puck Fair organising committee Declan Mangan said the festival noted that the Traveller Accommodation Act 1998 required the council to provide for the accommodation needs of Travellers "having regard to the annual patterns of movement by Travellers".
Puck Fair was a voluntary community group and never had any involvement in providing accommodation for visitors, Mr Mangan said in a formal submission.
A Traveller support group,Kerry Travellers Development Project said in their submission that they were not allowed access to commercial caravan parks in Tralee "because of who they are", and there was a need during the summer to provide a transient halting site in the town.
From Tralee, they could travel daily to Puck Fair in Killorglin and also remain for the Rose of Tralee festival, the Kerry Travellers Development Project said.
The new trespass law stopped Travellers staying at the side of the road, the group said.
However, Kerry County Council rejected the call and insisted "no genuine demand" for the provision of transient sites had been established.
Commercial Traveller traders, arriving for festivals and fairs such as Puck Fair and the Rose of Tralee should be expected to secure their own accommodation, the report concluded.
