Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 September 2012
292. Deputy Martin Ferris asked the Minister for the Environment; Community and Local Government if he has received correspondence from Kerry County Council regarding its concerns about the reduction in the Housing Capital Allowance 2012 and in particular funding for single rural dwellings and if he has issued a reply. [40511/12]
View answerThis year I allocated some €8.643 million to Kerry County Council in respect of the various measures supported under my Department’s Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP) . I recently allocated a further € 420,000 to the Council for the construction of three rural houses over the period 2012 – 2014. Having regard to the high level of commitments under the SHIP at this time, I am not in a position to approve the additional funding requested by the Council on 19 September.
