View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 297 and 298 together.
Housing for All is the Government’s plan to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 per year over the next decade. Housing for All is supported by an investment package of over €4 billion per annum, through an overall combination of €12 billion in direct Exchequer funding, €3.5 billion investment through the Land Development Agency and €5 billion in lending through the Housing Finance Agency.
Budget 2023 provided for €4 billion in Exchequer funding to deliver housing programmes this year. This funding will support increased social and affordable housing delivery, along with the implementation of a broad range of programmes providing targeted support to meet housing need.
The 2023 annual budgetary allocations for all capital and current housing programmes, and the associated annual targets to be achieved through the funding provided, are set out in the 2023 Revised Estimates Volume (REV), which can be accessed at the following link:

The funding provided to local authorities for the delivery of the full range of housing programmes in 2020 and 2021 is set out in the attached tables. The breakdown of the full year 2022 expenditure by local authority level is currently being finalised in my Department and will be forwarded to the Deputy when completed. The analysis of 2023 expenditure to date at local authority level will be undertaken thereafter.
