Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 April 2022
366. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the proportion of funding allocated to Vote 34, subhead A17, repair and leasing, which will be used to achieve the output target for 2022 of 120 units; and the average cost of delivering each unit. [18141/22]
View answerThe maximum cost of repairs allowable under this scheme was increased from €40,000 (including VAT) to €60,000 (including VAT) in November 2020. Therefore, should 120 properties be delivered in 2022 under the Repair and Leasing scheme, the maximum cost to the Exchequer of refurbishment (capital costs) would be €7,200,000. The allowable cost of the repairs is offset against the agreed rental payment until the capital cost is repaid.
Data on the average cost of delivering each unit in 2022 is not yet available.
