There are no specific funding streams for Local Authorities provided by my Department. However, payments have been made to a number of Local Authorities under a number of programmes managed by my Department as follows:

2018

2019

2020

While payments under programmes for Traveller Support Initiatives, Migrant Integration and Traveller Support Initiatives were made in 2020, my Department's responsibility for those functions transferred to the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth on 14 October last, and will be reflected in the accounts for that Department for the entirety of the financial year.

There is currently no expenditure to date this year.
