Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community

Funding Strategy for Traveller-Specific Accommodation: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Brian Kennedy:

For the Traveller accommodation programme between 2019 and 2024, we spent about €7.8 million in revenue but in one of those years, we only spent €200,000. It depends on what stage projects are at. Last year we did not have a very large spend but this year we intend spending about €3.5 million. It depends on the year. People can see that substantial capital money has spent over the previous Traveller accommodation programme and we hope to continue that over the next five years.
