Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

My Department is engaging with the Approved Housing Body (AHB) sector, including Cena, on its capacity to deliver Traveller-specific accommodation as part of the ongoing work of the Programme Board, established to oversee the implementation of the recommendations contained in the Expert Group Review report. 

My Department has been engaging with the AHB Cena in this context and a decision on this funding application will be made in due course.
