5. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if, in view of the €50 million underspend by local authorities relating to Traveller accommodation discussed at committee level in May and the current crisis in Traveller accommodation, he will now exercise his powers under section 111 of the Housing Act 1966 to order local authorities to perform these housing functions within a specified period of time; in the event of non-compliance, if he will invest himself with those powers of performance; if not, if he will set out his plans to sort out Traveller accommodation with just €3 million for 34 councils in 2014.
