The Housing (Traveller Accommodation) Act 1998 provides that the role of my Department is to ensure that there are adequate structures and supports in place to assist housing authorities in providing accommodation for Travellers, including a national framework of policy, legislation and funding.

The capital funding available for 2024 is €21 million for the provision of Traveller-specific accommodation to be provided by local authorities.

My Department does not hold the details requested.
