Capital funding is provided to approved housing bodies which provide accommodation under my Department's voluntary and co-operative housing schemes. My Department's involvement with the schemes relate primarily to the provision of funds for individual projects. The administration of the schemes, the certification that particular projects comply with the terms of the schemes and the payment of grants to approved bodies are the responsibility of the local authority, in this instance, Cork County Council.
A total of €362,319 was paid to Cork County Council in respect of a project undertaken by Respond at Dromina. However, the detailed information sought in relation to individual stage payments by the Council is not available in my Department.
