Table 2 provides funding allocations and the Department's expenditure per county for SICAP 2015 to 2019.
SICAP commenced on 1 April 2015 in most parts of the country. Expenditure figures for Counties Meath in 2015 and Galway in 2015 and 2016 reflect the fact that a deliberative process was ongoing at the time, SICAP commenced in Meath in May 2015 and in Galway County in January 2017. Programme Implementers which had an underspend in 2015 and 2016 were permitted to offset the underspend against the following years budget.

The Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme 2018-2022 (SICAP) is a €190m, five year national programme, delivered locally to help those in the greatest need. The SICAP vision is to improve the life chances of those who are marginalised in society, living in poverty or unemployed.
The funding allocated is set out in the table. The funding for 2020 onwards is indicative and subject to the budgetary process. It is my intention to secure increased funding for this vital programme from 2020 onwards.
