Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 September 2021
238. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the proportion in percentage and nominal terms of the €1.1 billion additional core capital for 2022 outlined in Summer Economic Statement 2021 allocated to capital measures outlined in the Housing for All Plan recently published by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. [45241/21]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the Housing for All strategy was published by my colleague the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage on 2nd September 2021. The development of the Housing for All Plan has been closely aligned with the National Development Plan (NDP) to ensure the capital funding is identified and committed to the delivery of the social and affordable home measures.
As referenced in Housing for All, social housing and affordable homes measures will be backed up by €12 billion in NDP funding over five years. The revised NDP is currently being finalised and it will set out annual expenditure ceilings for the initial 5 years for each Departmental Vote Group, including capital ceilings for 2022. This document is due to be published in the coming weeks, following final Governmental approval.
