Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2005
514 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if funds for the repair and improvement of local authority houses in Mayo for 2006 have been sanctioned; the amounts allocated and the allocation for each electoral area in the county; the number of houses surveyed in the county for this purpose; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The management, maintenance and improvements of rented dwellings is the responsibility of the local authority concerned and the funding of such works is provided by local authorities from their own resources as part of their ongoing maintenance programmes. My Department has given approval under the remedial works scheme for the refurbishment of houses in the county. In this regard I refer to my reply to Question No. 642 of 15 November 2005. The position is unchanged.
