My Department provided capital funding in excess of â¬172 million to local authorities in respect of their Traveller Accommodation Programmes over the five year period, 2003 to 2007. Details of the amount recouped to each local authority are set out in the table below.
Current funding of over â¬29 million was also provided to local authorities over the same period to meet the cost of salaries and travelling expenses of social workers employed by local authorities and voluntary bodies in assisting with the accommodation of Travellers, and towards costs incurred in the management and maintenance of halting sites.
