Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

The information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51:

With regards capital funding programmes such as Homeless Emergency Accommodation funding, the Traveller-Specific Accommodation programme, Urban Regeneration Development Fund Capital and the Social Housing Capital programmes, the funding is provided to local authorities in line with the arrangements set out under the Per Cent for Art Scheme. To disaggregate this funding from the overall funding provided would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work. However, precise information in relation to funding around individual projects would be available from the relevant local authorities that are directly involved in their delivery.

From records available to me, a schedule of the funds released by my Department under the Per Cent for Art Scheme over the past five years, including the amount and beneficiary of the funds, is set out in the table below.
