Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 July 2008
888 Deputy Tom Hayes asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the amount his Department allocated to the country as a whole for housing capital grant; the amount allocated for south Tipperary in respect of the housing capital grant for 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008; the amounts for Cashel, Clonmel, Cahir, Tipperary and Carrick-on-Suir in County Tipperary separately for those years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28375/08]
View answerIn 2008, my Department has allocated over €1.2 billion to support activity across the country under the social housing investment programme.
The allocations under this programme for the areas in question in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 are outlined in the following table. It should be noted that as Cahir does not have a specific housing authority, the housing need for the town is met under the County Council allocation.
