View answer352. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the funding provided to Limerick City and County Council for voids refurbishment in each of the years 2010 to 2020 and to date in 2021, in tabular form. [46397/21]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 350 and 352 together.
Since 2014, Exchequer funding has been provided through my Department's Voids Programme to support local authorities in preparing vacant units for re-letting. Some 16,102 vacant social housing homes were returned to productive use in the period 2014-2020. This figure does not include homes which were returned to productive use by local authorities using funding from their own resources.
Between 2014 and 2020, Exchequer funding of approximately €228.7 million was provided, supporting local authorities in preparing vacant units for re-letting.
The table below provides the full breakdown by local authority of the units and funding provided by my Department during this time:

My Department announced earlier this year that funding will be provided for the refurbishment and re-letting of approximately 3,000 social homes this year. Each local authority has been allocated a number of properties and work in this regard is well underway. Full details in relation to the 2021 programme will be available early in 2022.
