Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Frank D'Arcy:

In Dublin, in the last five years the total spend by the Traveller accommodation unit, which is a stand-alone unit for us, has been approximately €48 million, of which €16.8 million was spent on capital projects and we were in receipt from the Department of just short of €13 million. It goes back to what the chief executive of Tipperary County Council spoke about earlier. They have looked at flexibility in respect of acquisitions for us previously and where we have got issues yet want to drive specific projects forward, then they have been very accommodating.
