Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 October 2023
223. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to provide a breakdown of Vote 34 in budget 2024 providing the total capital and current expenditure for each individual programme within heads A, B, C, D, E and F; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45887/23]
View answerThe Total Gross allocation for Vote 34 in 2024 is €6,845m. This is made up of €2,966m Current and €3,879m Capital. The breakdown of Gross allocations by Programme and subhead is provided in the table appended to this reply.
Reflecting the priority placed on Housing for All, the Government’s national housing strategy, there will be record €5bn Capital investment in housing in 2024 - comprising €2.6bn Exchequer, €978m Land Development Agency (LDA) and €1.5bn Housing Finance Agency (HFA) funding. Current and Capital allocations in 2024 will be further supplemented through additional funding of €151m for housing purposes provided by certain local authorities from Local Property Tax (LPT) receipts.
Furthermore additional National Development Plan Capital funding of €250m for 2024 will be distributed in the coming months further increasing the allocation to Vote 34.
In addition to Vote 34 the LDA and HFA are crucial to our Housing for All plans and I will be seeking Cabinet approval in the coming weeks to capitalise the LDA in the order of €6bn and increase the HFA borrowing limit from €10bn to €12bn as part of Ireland’s long term housing investment plans.
