Deputy Seán Haughey asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the amount of funding allocated to Fingal County Council in 2016 and 2017; the sources of this funding; the way in which this funding is spent by the local authority; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerMy Department has a wide and diverse business agenda, including providing necessary housing supports and fostering communities in partnership with local government and other local development bodies. In order to deliver on this broad agenda, my Department allocates significant resources to a wide range of organisations, including local authorities. The total funding provided by my Department directly to Fingal County Council in 2016 was €53.3m. To date in 2017 €4.6m has been provided.
If the Deputy wishes to put down a more specific question concerning funding for a specific purpose from my Department, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
