Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)
The management, maintenance and improvements to their rented dwellings is the responsibility of each local authority and the funding of such works is provided by local authorities from their own resources as part of their ongoing maintenance programmes.
My Department does, however, provide capital funding for substantial major refurbishment work to local authority dwellings under the Remedial Works Scheme which can include works of an environmental nature.
