Dáil Éireann Debate, Monday - 11 September 2017
2071. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the expenditure savings that are earmarked for his Department for 2018 that are not accounted for in the mid-year expenditure report or are not included in the fiscal space calculations for 2018. [38905/17]
View answerWhile the need for, and objectives of, expenditure programmes are kept under regular review, there are at present no specific programmes being funded from my Department's Vote for 2017 that are likely to yield significant savings in 2018. Indeed, in relation to housing, additional funding requirements are recognised and provided for in the €5.35 billion of funding committed to under the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan on Housing and Homelessness for the period to 2021 and this issue is being considered further in the context of the ongoing review of the Plan.
