South Dublin County Council's Traveller Engagement Programme was approved for funding in September 2007 as a project to be supported under my Department's Sustainable Communities Fund, which supports innovative housing related projects, on a co-funding basis, for a maximum of three years. Over the past two years, my Department has provided €173,551 to South Dublin County Council in respect of this Programme and further funding will be available this year in respect of its final year. In addition to the funding available under the Sustainable Communities Fund, my Department continues to fund 90% of the salaries and expenses of the social workers employed by South Dublin County Council to work with Travellers.
