I ask that question in the context of a lot of media coverage over the past few months about a list of local authorities we were told were not drawing down their funding. There is a suggestion that the political will is missing or there is some other obstacle. I simply do not know. Each local authority has its own set-up, sets of circumstances and problems. It is important that we know that if an authority requests certain funding to deliver a Traveller accommodation programme that it will draw it down or indicate to the Department that it will not, somewhat earlier.

How many people are on the council's list seeking Traveller accommodation as of today?
