Dessie Ellis (Dublin North-West, Sinn Fein)

That is current funding. Can the local authorities seek more or are they limited to that figure? That is one thing on which I am not sure. We have a number of capital projects in my area of Dublin North-West. I have been waiting on them for the past six or seven years. I have seen plan after plan, which is quite frustrating. I wonder whether Dublin City Council has been following through with a lot of these projects. The Avila projects have been going on for the past five or six years. There is another plan to do works at St. Margaret's Park.

A lot of the sites are overcrowded. Mr. O’Sullivan said that members of the Traveller community are looking for ordinary accommodation. This is out of frustration because there is an overflow of people in the sites. In some cases, councils will say they do not have land or whatever. That is adding to the number of Travellers looking for ordinary accommodation, be that through RAS, HAP or otherwise. Things like that are a big factor.
