£3,000 spent on taxis for emergency housing applicants in Derry/Strabane
The Housing Executive spent £3,000 on taxi provision for temporary and emergency housing applicants in Derry and Strabane in 2024/25.
This was dwarfed by expenditure in Belfast, where £210,000 was spent.
Across the North as a whole a total of £272,000 was spent by the NIHE on taxis.
In Causeway Coast and Glens expenditure stood at £12,000 while in Mid Ulster it was £9,000.
Housing minister Gordon Lyons released the information in response to an Assembly Question tabled by SDLP MLA Mark H. Durkan.
