Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2018
304. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the amount of funding allocated for, and drawn down by, all local authorities for Traveller accommodation in 2017, in tabular form. [6169/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn 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 allocations and recoupment profiles for capital Traveller accommodation projects can vary across local authorities given the local priorities, circumstances and project timelines as set out in the TAPs. These programmes provide a road map for local authority investment priorities over the period covered. They also form the basis for the allocation of funding from my Department for Traveller accommodation.
The following table sets out the allocation versus drawdown by local authority during 2017.
