Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 June 2023
87. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to outline the refurbishment spends and number of units in each case of Traveller accommodations, per local authority, from 2018 -2022, in tabular form. [31533/23]
View answerThe Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act 1998 provides that the role of my Department is to ensure that there are adequate structures and supports in place to assist housing authorities in providing accommodation for Travellers, including a national framework of policy, legislation and funding.
The information available on Traveller specific accommodation consists of total expenditure and outputs per local authority which relates primarily to new and refurbished Halting Sites, new and refurbished Group Housing, Acquisitions and Mobiles. Given that the expenditure is a multi-annual programme, the outputs in any year are not directly relatable to the individual spend in a particular year therefore it is not possible to fully disaggregate it in the format requested. The information available on the amount of drawn down by each local authority and the outputs for each of the years 2018 to 2022 is set out in the following table:
