Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

Total funding of €933 million has been made available in 2016 for the provision of housing. This includes a capital provision of €180.12 million to support the provision of local authority housing through a programme of construction and acquisitions. To date in 2016, €137 million has been expended under the local authority programme, representing 76% of the 2016 allocation. Details of expenditure to date under the local authority capital programme by individual authority are given in the table.

The expenditure to date figure of €137 million includes a sum of €1.039 million for the procurement of housing for local authorities by the Housing Agency. As is normal with capital programmes, I anticipate a continued high level of spend in the remaining weeks to year end.
