I assume the question refers to the provision of accommodation for homeless persons.
Under section 10 of the Housing Act 1988, my Department recoups local authorities 90% of the expenditure in regard to the provision of accommodation and related services for homeless persons. The Government is committed to tackling homelessness in all its forms and to achieve this, funding has been increased substantially — from €12.5 million in 1999 to an allocation of €51 million for 2005. My Department does not record information on this expenditure by former health board area; the following table sets out the expenditure by my Department from 2000-2004 for each local authority area. Each local authority funds the remaining 10% of the cost.
