I assume that the question refers to assistance from my Department under the voluntary housing capital assistance and communal facilities grant schemes.
My Department's involvement with the voluntary housing schemes relates primarily to the provision of funds for individual projects. The administration of the scheme, and the certification that particular projects comply with the terms of the scheme, are the responsibility of the local authority.
An application for funding from Dublin City Council has been received for such a project at St. Anne's Court, Dublin 1. My Department has sought further information from the city council and when this is to hand the application for funding will be further considered and the council will be advised of the outcome as soon as possible.
