It is a matter for each local authority to provide money in their annual estimates for the repair and maintenance of their rented housing estate. I understand that Tralee Urban Council have provided a sum of £23,000 for this purpose in their current estimates. Such expenditure will qualify for State subsidy under the new housing subsidy arrangements which I introduced last year.
