The Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act 1998 requires local authorities to draw up, adopt, and implement accommodation programmes to accelerate the provision of accommodation for Travellers, including the provision and refurbishment of Traveller-specific accommodation such as group houses and permanent and transient halting site bays. My Department's role is to provide funding to support the implementation of those programmes.

There is no funding available from my Department for the type of project referred to in the question.
