Written answers

Details of expenditure under the local authority construction programme, i.e. standard construction, turnkeys and rapid delivery, by individual local authority in 2016 and 2017 are set out in the following table. In addition to standard construction, turnkeys and rapid delivery mechanisms, local authorities also deliver new-build social housing through dedicated regeneration programmes which seek to address the causes of disadvantage in communities through a holistic programme of physical, social and economic regeneration. Total expenditure by local authorities under the National Regeneration Programme in 2016 and 2017 was €50.054m and €65.186m, respectively.

In 2018, the total budget for the local authority housing capital programme is €638.7 million and the budget for the National Regeneration Programme is €61 million. As in previous years, funding is being provided to individual local authorities over the course of 2018 in line with the pace at which each authority advances its programmes.
