Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the funding his Department provided to local authorities for Traveller-specific accommodation, and the amount drawn down and the number of tenancies this supported, by local authority, for each of the years 2008 to 2016 to date, in tabular form.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 207 and 232 together.
In accordance with the Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act 1998, housing authorities have statutory responsibility for the assessment of the accommodation needs of Travellers and the preparation, adoption and implementation of multi-annual Traveller Accommodation Programmes (TAPs) in their areas. My Department’s role is to ensure that there are adequate structures and supports in place to assist the authorities in providing such accommodation, including a national framework of policy, legislation and funding.
The first three TAPs covered the periods 2000-2004, 2005-2008 and 2009-2013. Local authorities adopted the fourth and current round of TAPs in April 2014, with the five-year rolling programmes running from 2014 to 2018. These programmes provide a road map for local authority investment priorities over the period. They also form the basis for the allocation of funding from my Department for traveller accommodation. Local authorities submit proposals for individual traveller specific projects and developments, which are assessed on a case-by-case basis in my Department in advance of allocations being made.
The capital allocations and amounts recouped in respect of Traveller specific accommodation for the years 2008 to 2015 are set out in tables 1 and 2 below. The outputs with regard to the number of tenancies are set out in table 3 below.
A provision of €5.5m for Traveller specific accommodation is in place for 2016, an increase of €1.2m on the 2015 allocation, and allocations will be made very shortly.
