I propose to take Questions Nos. 123 to 130, inclusive, together.

Details of the 2021 housing output targets, including the targets under the programmes requested by the Deputy, are set out in the 2021 Revised Estimates (REV) which is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/e20037-revised-estimates/#2021. In respect of the Capital Advance Leasing Facility the 2021 output target is 3,800 units and this is reflected in the 2021 REV as part of the key high level metrics relating to delivery through social housing capital programmes and Approved Housing Body build delivery.

Generally, it should be noted that the 2021 output targets were set in anticipation of a fully operational construction year in 2021 and may be impacted as a result of Covid-19 restrictions.

In relation to Subhead A.3, the main local authority capital programme, the 2021 Estimate of €1,078,559 million is supplemented by €78 million in surplus Local Property Tax receipts where certain local authorities are required to use the surplus to fund housing services. In addition, €58 million in unspent 2020 appropriations has been applied to Subhead A.3. This arose as a result of the impact of Covid-19 restrictions on the construction sector in 2020. Therefore, the total budget for Subhead A.3 in 2021 is €1,214,559 million.
