My Department supports local authorities to provide capital funding towards the development of new refuges, while operational policy in relation to the refuges is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.
Provision of capital funding towards the development of new refuges, via the Capital Assistance Scheme, is demand-led so it is not possible to provide a projected expenditure figure for 2022; this will depend on the advancement of project proposals on the ground. However I can confirm that full capital funding is available to support the advancement of the development projects currently in the pipeline.
