Section 58 of the Housing Act 1966, provides that the management and maintenance of local authority housing stock is a matter for each individual local authority. This includes maintenance programmes and carrying out of responsive repairs and pre-letting repairs.
However, my Department is committed to supporting local authorities in terms of various targeted stock upgrade programmes, including large-scale urban regeneration programmes, support for the return of vacant units to productive use, the Energy Retrofitting Programme and adaptations and extensions for people with disabilities in social homes.
Regarding the Energy Retrofitting Programme, the funding available in the three years in question was €30 million in 2016, €22 million in 2017 and €25 million in 2018. The funding drawn down by each local authority for 2016-18 is set out in the following table.

Where funding allocated against the EE Programme was not drawn down directly against this programme, it was in the main expended on the refurbishment of vacant properties, including the energy retrofitting works that are also part of that programme.
