Written Answers Nos. 701-724
701. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of adult persons who have exited section 10-funded homeless accommodation in the first six months of 2017; and the housing tenures to which they have exited. [50128/17]
View answerBased on housing authority reports, during the first six months of 2017 a total of 2,060 adults, who were assessed and deemed homeless by housing authorities within the meaning of Section 2 of the Housing Act 1988, exited homelessness into independent tenancies. This figure includes homeless adults who exited Section 10 funded homeless accommodation and also homeless adults prevented from entering emergency accommodation.
The tenure types to which these adults moved are set out below:
- local authority tenancies - 453;
- approved housing body tenancies - 376;
- private rented tenancies - 1,231.
702. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the schemes available to assist households in relocating from urban to rural areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50139/17]
View answerThe Government's Action Plan for Rural Development: Realising our Potential has a clear objective of working across Government Departments to deliver a co-ordinated group of strategies to ensure the success of vibrant rural communities across Ireland.
My Department works closely with the Department of Rural and Community Development on rural housing issues. In relation to social housing, it is possible already for people to move between local authorities under the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Scheme.
Arising from the Housing Summit in September, my Department is currently examining additional ways to facilitate homeless households wishing to relocate to rural areas.
703. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of RAS tenancies active at the end of each year from 2005 to 2016 and to date in 2017; and the annual cost of RAS tenancies for each year. [50157/17]
View answerThe Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) has been an important contributor to social housing supply since its introduction on a pilot basis in 2005. From its commencement in late 2005 to 31 September 2017, some 34,282 households have been transferred from Rent Supplement to RAS.
The number of households in RAS constantly varies as contracts end, tenants move on to other properties, landlords withdraw from the scheme, new tenancies are allocated or vacancies in contracted units are filled. While data from 2005 to 2010 is not readily available, data relating to the number of households availing of support under RAS from 2011 to 2016 is available on my Department's website at the following link:
www.housing.gov.ie/housing/social-housing/social-and-affordble/overall-social-housing-provision.
Data relating to the cost of supporting RAS tenancies from 2011 to 2016 can also be found on my Department's website at the above link. €134.3 million was provided in Budget 2017 to support the cost of the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS). Monies are provided on an Exchequer neutral basis to meet the costs of persons transferring from the Rent Supplement (RS) Scheme to RAS.
704. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of part V units delivered in 2016; and the number delivered to date in 2017. [50159/17]
View answerInformation returned to my Department indicates that there were 69 Part V social housing units delivered in 2016. Based on quarterly returns to the end of Quarter 2 of 2017, a provisional total of 200 social housing units were identified as having been delivered through Part V in the first half of this year.
711. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the action he has taken and the outcome in each individual case (details supplied) in which planning authorities altered wind-energy policies contrary to the advice contained in circular letter PL20/2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50246/17]
View answerThe Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) provides the legislative basis for the formulation of statutory local authority plans, and is supplemented by guidelines issued by my Department under section 28 of the Act, which are available on my Department's website at the following web link: www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/migrated-files/en/Publications/DevelopmentandHousing/Planning/FileDownLoad%2C14468%2Cen.pdf.
In addition, from time to time, my Department issues circulars, which are generally advisory in nature and are used as a means for providing information to planning authorities in relation to various legislative provisions and requirements, to outline and clarify Government or Departmental policy, and to provide practical advice on the implementation of the planning code and general planning matters.
Circular letter PL20/2013 advised planning authorities not to amend their development plan policies with respect to wind energy developments until such time as the Government's focused review of the 2006 statutory Planning Guidelines on Wind Energy Development was completed.
Most of the local authorities referred to have had to review their development plans in line with statutory timelines. They have generally retained pre-existing wind energy policies derived from the 2006 Guidelines; however, where the drafts of such plans departed from the 2006 Guidelines, my Department issued statutory observations on such departures, which planning authorities responded to and addressed in the context of the legal and policy framework pertaining at that time.
Notwithstanding these interactions, in certain circumstances as the details below show, where the reviews of such plans resulted in a substantive breach of national policy objectives and statutory requirements, relevant Ministerial/Departmental functions in the statutory plan-making process have been exercised up to the point of issuing directions to planning authorities to amend development plans, under procedures set out in Section 31 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
Section 31 Directions were issued in respect of the following four County Development Plans:
- Roscommon: On 14 April 2014, Roscommon County Council was directed to amend its renewable energy strategy for wind energy, as it was not in compliance with the 2006 guidelines.
- Donegal: On 3 October 2014, Donegal County Council was issued with a direction in relation to the County Development Plan wind energy objectives, which were not consistent with the 2006 guidelines; this direction was quashed following Judicial Review.
- Wicklow: On 14 February 2017, Wicklow County Council was directed to amend Objective CCE6 in its County Development Plan, as it was not consistent with the 2006 wind energy guidelines.
- Laois: On 28 September 2017, Laois County Council was directed to amend its County Development Plan because its wind energy potential mapping was not consistent with the 2006 Guidelines and had failed to comply with EU Directive SEA requirements.
712. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government if the planning section within his Department had sight of and considered a report endorsed by the planning authority of County Donegal entitled submission in relation to amendment document Option 3 revised to the working draft county development plan 2014 to 2018 prior to making its submission to the draft County Donegal development plan 2018 to 2024; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50247/17]
View answerThe report referred to in the Question would appear to have been a submission to the planning authority, in the context of the internal processes relating to the preparation of its draft development plan.
The documentation forwarded by planning authorities to my Department in the context of my statutory role as consultee in the development plan preparation process is confined to the written statement and maps and environmental reports, as provided for under Section 12 (1) (a) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
Therefore, my Department does not have sight of submissions and reports internal to the deliberative process undertaken by planning authorities in the context of the preparation of their development plans and accordingly, my Department would not have had sight of the document referred to in the question, prior to making its submission in relation to the draft County Donegal Development Plan 2018 - 2024.
My Department was emailed with a copy of the submission by a member of Donegal County Council on 10th November 2017 after my Department's observations were forwarded to the planning authority. However, my Department has no statutory role in commenting on submissions made on the development plan preparation process outside of the provisions under Section 12(1)(a) above.
In general terms, therefore, observations by my Department are made only in the context of the written statement and maps and environmental reports as prepared and adopted by the relevant planning authority for public consultation.
714. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government his views on whether the replication of elements of policy by other planning authorities is a consideration that falls within the express or implied statutory obligations of a planning authority when formulating an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of its functional area; if so, the particular provisions within the Planning and Development Acts, associated regulations, guidelines or otherwise, that provide for same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50249/17]
View answerPlanning and development is one of the most important functions of local authorities. Development plans and local area plans, as adopted by the elected members in line with the broader regulatory and policy context for planning, set the local policy context for individual decisions on planning applications by the planning authority.
The Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) provides the legislative basis for the formulation of statutory local authority plans, and is supplemented by guidelines issued by my Department under section 28 of the Act, which are available on my Department's website at the following web link: www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/migrated-files/en/Publications/DevelopmentandHousing/Planning/FileDownLoad%2C14468%2Cen.pdf.
Section 9(4) of the Act requires that, in making a development plan, planning authorities must have regard to the development plans of adjoining planning authorities and co-ordinate the objectives of their development plan with the objectives of adjoining plans, except where the planning authority considers it to be inappropriate or not feasible to do so.
Moreover, section 9(5) of the Act requires that planning authorities take into account any significant likely effects of the implementation of their development plans on the area of adjoining planning authorities, having regard in particular to the observations or submissions of those authorities.
715. Deputy Thomas Pringle asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the process followed by his Department in making a determination as to whether his recommendations have been complied with in the context of section 12(5)(a) of the Planning and Development Acts 2017 (as amended); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50250/17]
View answerThe process in relation to making a local authority Development Plan is a statutory one, set out in the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
My Department examines the development plans and local area plans as adopted compared to recommendations and requests made at the public consultation stages in my capacity as statutory consultee.
The examination of the plans undertaken by my Department pays particular attention to the degree to which recommendations and requests made in relation to adherence to the legislative and policy requirements as laid out in the Act have been followed through in the final decision of the relevant authority, including any acknowledgement of such departures provided for in the section referred to.
716. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government further to Question No. 497 of 14 November 2017, the definition of a satisfactory credit record; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50257/17]
View answer717. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government further to Question No. 497 of 14 November 2017, if applicants for local authority mortgages who are discharged bankrupts come under the prohibited categories of those deemed bankrupt or are subject to bankruptcy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50258/17]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 716 and 717 together.
Applicants for local authority house purchase loans must be of good credit standing and have a satisfactory credit record. The Housing Agency provides a central credit assessment service to local authorities and credit checks are undertaken as part of the credit assessment process. The final decision on loan approval is a matter for the relevant local authority and its credit committee on a case-by-case basis. Decisions on all housing loan applications must be made in accordance with the statutory credit policy, that underpins the scheme, in order to ensure prudence and consistency in approaches in the best interests of both borrowers and the lending local authorities.
A person who has been discharged from bankruptcy and is eligible in all other respects for a local authority house purchase loan may apply for a loan and will be subject to the same credit assessment process that applies to all applicants.
718. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government his plans to include quarries under the critical infrastructure legislation thus allowing such developments apply directly to An Bord Pleanála for planning permission in view of the proposed changes to the critical infrastructure legislation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50264/17]
View answerI have no proposals to amend the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, to classify quarries as strategic infrastructural developments.
719. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of SHCEP-funded leases in categories (details supplied) for each of the years 2014 to 2016 and to date in 2017; the annual cost for these leases each year; the target number of leases under these categories in each of the years 2018 to 2021; and the estimated cost of these leases in each of these years. [50288/17]
View answerThe Government has set out an ambitious set of targets for the delivery of social housing to the period to 2021 in its Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan. A commitment to deliver 50,000 new social housing homes through a range of delivery mechanisms is being supported by a multi-annual Exchequer commitment totalling €6.5 billion over the period of the plan. These targets will be achieved using a combination of building, purchasing and leasing high quality properties to meet the needs of households on local authority waiting lists around the country.
The Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) will support the delivery of 10,000 of these homes by providing financial support for the leasing of houses and apartments by local authorities and approved housing bodies from a range of different sources. A total of 3,500 properties are targeted to be achieved using the Repair and Leasing Scheme (RLS) which harnesses the potential of existing vacant stock and brings it back into use for social housing. The remaining 6,500 properties to be leased are intended to be secured under long-term lease arrangements from a variety of sources.
In relation to NAMA/SPV leases, NAMA has established a special purpose vehicle (National Asset Residential Property Services Limited ‘NARPS’), to take ownership of properties where there is an established demand and then lease them long-term to an approved housing body or local authority. In these projects, NAMA funds the remediation of the common areas and the completion of the unfinished units, which are often the last remaining incomplete and vacant units in the estates. When the units are complete, NARPS purchase the finished properties and lease them immediately to the approved housing body or local authority. While NAMA is consistently mindful of identifying properties which may be suitable for social housing, the pool of such properties is reducing in line with the reduction in the NAMA loan portfolio and it is unlikely at this point that significant numbers of additional properties will be identified. Information in relation to NAMA delivery for social housing is available on the website for the Housing Agency at the following link:
www.housingagency.ie/Housing/media/Media/Social%20Leasing%20Library/NAMA%20Status%20Reports/Breakdown-by-County-October-2017.pdf.
The number of dwellings supported by the SHCEP in each of the years 2014 to Q3 2017, in the categories sought, are set out in the table below:

SHCEP funding is used to fund a range of delivery mechanisms, including those outlined in Table 1. Details of the total funding drawn-down by local authorities under SHCEP in 2014, 2015 and 2016 are provided in the Table below. Exchequer funding for SHCEP in 2017 is €84m and it is expected that this funding will be drawn down in full by year end. Data in relation to the cost of each category of lease is not available for the period 2014 to 2017. However, this data will be available for 2018 and subsequent years as a result of changes made to the systems used for the recording of financial data.

720. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of approved housing applicants; the number of these applicants accessing and using the choice-based letting system for each local authority, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50343/17]
View answerDetails on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each housing authority area are provided in the statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments. The most recent figures available are the results of the 2016 Summary which are available on my Department’s website at the following link:
www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/publications/files/summary_of_social_housing_assessments_2016.pdf.
In line with a commitment given in the Social Housing Strategy 2020, future summaries will now be carried out an annual basis. I expect the results of the 2017 summary to be available for publication in the coming weeks.
The allocation of social housing support is a matter for the relevant local authority in accordance with the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and associated regulations. Section 22 of the 2009 Act requires all housing authorities, as a reserved function, to make an allocation scheme determining the order of priority to be accorded in the allocation of dwellings to households qualified for social housing support and to households approved for a transfer, the allocation of which would, in the opinion of the authority, meet the accommodation needs and requirements of the households.
On 30 September 2016, the Social Housing Allocation (Amendment) Regulations 2016 were made, which required that all local authorities must, if they had not already done so, provide for Choice Based Letting (CBL) as a method of allocation in their housing allocation schemes by 31 December 2016.
Where a local authority, having included a provision on CBL in its allocation scheme, decides to operate a CBL scheme, it must implement it in accordance with Regulations 6 – 11 of the 2011 Regulations. Decisions on which properties are to be included under a CBL scheme is a matter for individual authorities.
721. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the progress made to date on action 5.3 of Rebuilding Ireland on work with local authorities to speed up the refurbishment and where possible the re-letting of vacant social housing units; the number of vacant units in the south of Dublin city centre; the average length of time units are vacant in this area, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50346/17]
View answerSocial housing stock can become vacant due to various circumstances as would be expected, and, in the normal course, social homes will be re-let by local authorities, after appropriate repairs are carried out.
All local authorities have been requested to achieve the most efficient turnaround of their vacant social housing stock between lettings through more ongoing maintenance and upgrading of their properties, so as to minimise "down-time", and quicker identification of new tenants through, for example, the choice-based letting initiative.
In January this year, my Department issued regulations for Standards for Rented Houses and these standards apply to social housing and provide common reletting performance standards across all local authorities. The Voids Programme, introduced in 2014, provides additional support to local authorities in remediating vacant units. This funding is available as an additional support over and above what local authorities provide themselves towards such work.
My Department does not collate data on the length of time local authority dwellings remain vacant or the number of vacant units at any particular time. It is a matter for each local authority to identify and submit details of relevant properties for inclusion in the Voids Programme.
My Department is continuing to engage on an ongoing basis with local authorities with a view to progressing measures to bring as many vacant and underutilised properties as possible back into use. All Chief Executives have been requested to designate vacant home officers in their local authorities to examine Census 2016 and other vacancy data in order to identify - through their Vacant Homes Action Plans - priority "vacant hot-spot areas" and properties that can be quickly brought back into use.
722. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the motor taxation receipts received in each of the years 2011 to 2016 and to date in 2017, by county, in tabular form. [50359/17]
View answerGross motor tax receipts for each licensing authority from January 2011 to the end of October 2017 are set out in the following tables. The online receipts figures include vehicle licences and arrears. Motor tax office receipts figures incorporate vehicle licences, arrears, miscellaneous receipts, trade plates, and goods vehicles trailer licences.

723. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the income components and the anticipated income to the Local Government Fund in 2018; the expected expenditure items and total expenditure in 2018 following the enactment of the Water Services Act 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50360/17]
View answerAs provided for in the Water Services Act 2017, from 2018 onward all State funding to Irish Water will be channelled through my Department’s Vote. In order to facilitate the change in funding sources the provisions of the Act facilitate the payment of motor tax receipts into the Exchequer, rather than the Local Government Fund (LGF), and the direct payment of local property tax receipts into the LGF.
The distribution of the 2018 allocations across my Department's Vote, including the income and expenditure components for the LGF, will be determined through the 2018 Revised Estimates Volume (REV) process. It is expected that the 2018 REV will be finalised and published by my colleague, the Minister for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform, in December.
724. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the public contracts between his Department and companies (details supplied) in each of the years 2011 to 2016; the value of each contract; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50404/17]
View answerMy Department had one contract in place with the companies specified during the period 2011 to 2016, detailed in the table below. This contract was for the provision of expert assistance in the Local Government Shared Services Programme.
