Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2023
690. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage with respect to the carryover of €240 million to Programme A – Housing Capital in Vote 34 from Budget 2022 to Budget 2023, to provide a breakdown by specific housing programme including local authority housing, CAS, CALF, CREL, AHF, CC and FHS. [48796/23]
View answerUnder Section 91 of the Finance Act, 2004, all or part of any unspent appropriations for capital supply services may be carried over for spending in the following year. This provides for the carryover of up to 10% of the REV allocation (Capital) from one year to the next. This must be expended in the following year i.e. it is not permissible to further defer any surplus.
My Department sought and obtained approval to carry the maximum permissible limit into 2023, some €340m. As per Part II of the REV, the €240m for Programme A Housing was allocated in its entirety to A.3 Local Authority Housing.
