Seán Crowe

Question:

377 Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the breakdown, per local authority, of the traveller accommodation programme; the amount of units proposed; the number of units built in 2001; and the number of units proposed to be built in 2003. [26570/02]

All local authorities required to do so prepared and adopted five year Traveller accommodation programmes in accordance with the Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act, 1998. The information sought is set out in the following table. Figures shown in the tables include Traveller specific accommodation as well as standard local authority accommodation provided for Traveller families.

Table 1 under sets out the Traveller accommodation needs identified by local authorities in their programmes, including projected needs arising during the course of the programmes. Table 2 provides details of the units of accommodation provided in 2001. The numbers of Traveller specific units of accommodation under construction at present as well as schemes approved by my Department and expected to start in 2003 are set out in Table 3.
