Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when his Department will announce details of the next tranche of schemes to be approved under the capital assistance scheme; when funding will be provided to a group (details supplied) in County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerSome €35 million is being set aside for a programme of works under my Department’s Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS) which provides funding to Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) of up to 100% of the approved costs of accommodation for people with specific categories of housing need, including older persons, persons with a disability, homeless persons and victims of domestic violence.
The proposals received from local authorities for inclusion in the programme of works to be advanced under the CAS over the 2014-2015 period are under consideration in my Department at present. I intend to announce details of the projects to be advanced very shortly.
