On the number of homeless people in the Traveller community, I could rattle off seven, eight or nine names in my area alone. The figures do not seem to add up. I query how they came about.

The capital funding is €23 million for this year. If we want to add to that, what is the process for looking for extra funding?

Mr. O’Sullivan mentioned a figure of €7 million. Is that correct?
