I propose to take Questions Nos. 115 to 118, inclusive, and 121 together.

Information regarding the annual Estimates of public expenditure, including the amounts allocated to Housing, is available on the website of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at the following link: http://www.per.gov.ie/en/rev/.

The following table contains the outturn figures for housing expenditure, broken down by capital and current, for the period 2000 to 2015. In relation to 2016, the table contains the budgeted amount for the current year.

In respect of 2016, to the end of April, expenditure on housing services was €125.66 million, including €30.85 million self-funded by local authorities from Local Property Tax receipts, and made up of €51.19 million capital and €74.47 million current.

Funding for housing supports through the various delivery programmes over the period 2017 to 2020 will be determined as part of the annual Estimates process. The Government’s capital investment plan, Building on Recovery: Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2016-2021, sets out a commitment to provide Exchequer capital funding of €2.9 billion in support of the implementation of the Social Housing Strategy targets to 2021. The Plan, including the annual breakdown of the €2.9 billion, can be accessed via the following link: http://www.per.gov.ie/en/capital-investment-plan-2016-2021/.
