View answerHaving regard to the existing high level of commitments under the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS), I am not in a position to approve funding for these proposals at this time. They will be considered in the light of the Estimates provision for the CAS for 2010.
267 Deputy John Cregan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the status of an application for funding by a voluntary housing group (details supplied); if he will confirm that this application has met all relevant criteria and will be approved should funding become available. [36022/09]
View answerHaving regard to the existing high level of commitments under the Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme (CLSS), it is not possible to approve the funding application submitted by South Tipperary County Council at this time. The application will be considered in the light of the Estimates provision for the CLSS in 2010, social housing needs locally and the potential for market based social housing delivery mechanisms such as long-term leasing and the rental accommodation scheme.
