I wish to advise the Deputy that my Department's Vote (Vote 24) provided grant funding to local authorities under the following categories in 2016 and 2017 (categorised in line with the categorisation applied in the C&AG Report on the Accounts of the Public Services):

Insofar as this Department's expenditure is concerned, "Recreation & other local services" includes payments to support initiatives such as Traveller Pride Week and the Cultúr Migrants Centre. The "Housing & urban regeneration" category includes payments to support integration and resettlement initiatives sponsored by the Office for the Promotion of Migrant Integration and the Irish Refugee Protection Programme.
