I propose to take Questions Nos. 431 and 465 together.
The Social Housing Investment Programme capital allocations announced on 20 March 2012 related to a range of measures including social housing supply, regeneration, estate-wide remedial works, energy efficiency and retrofitting works, Traveller-specific accommodation, extensions/adaptations to housing stock etc.
Some â¬5.670 million was allocated for capital works relating to the provision or improvement of Traveller-specific accommodation. In addition, some â¬3.948 million in current funding was allocated towards a range of Traveller support initiatives.
Details of these allocations are set out in the following table:
