Housing Schemes

Questions (659)

Alan Dillon

Question:

659. Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage how many people in County Mayo, have been successful in their local authority home loan and fresh start scheme applications, respectively; the number of applications made through Mayo County Council; the number if unsuccessful applications in County Mayo for 2022 and 2023; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12476/24]

Written answers

The Local Authority Home Loan (LAHL) is a Government-backed mortgage for creditworthy applicants who cannot get sufficient funding from commercial banks to purchase or build a home. It has been available nationwide from local authorities since 4 January 2022 for first-time buyers and fresh start applicants. Applicants who may meet the Fresh Start criteria apply to the general Local Authority Home Loan Scheme, there is no separate Fresh Start scheme. The loan can be used both for new and second-hand properties, or to self-build.

The Housing Agency provides a central support service that assesses applications for the Local Authority Home Loan on behalf of local authorities and makes recommendations to the authorities to approve or refuse applications.

The final decision on loan approval is a matter for the relevant local authority and its Credit Committee on a case-by-case basis. Decisions on all housing loan applications must be made in accordance with the Regulations establishing the scheme and the Credit Policy that underpins the scheme, in order to ensure prudence and consistency in approaches in the best interests of both borrowers and the lenders, the local authorities.

The most recent figures provided by the Agency on the number of valid Local Authority Home Loan applications that it has assessed for each local authority from 4 January 2022 up to the end of January 2024 are set out in the below table:

My Department publishes information on the number and value of (i) local authority loan approvals and (ii) local authority loan drawdowns. Local authority approval means that an official letter of offer has been sent to a borrower (and therefore relates to a specific property and loan amount).

Information on drawdowns, approvals, average drawdowns, and average approvals for the Local Authority Home Loan is available on my Department’s website at the following link, which is updated as soon as figures are available: www.gov.ie/en/collection/42d2f-local-authority-loan-activity/#local-authority-loans-approvedpaid.

Local Authorities

Questions (660)

Holly Cairns

Question:

660. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of developments that have requested to be taken in charge by local authorities but have not yet been taken in charge; if additional funding will be made available to enable local authorities to continue taking estates in charge; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12525/24]

View answer

Written answers

My Department does not collate data on the taking in charge of housing estates by local authorities. All planning authorities are required to have a policy on taking in charge within their respective functional areas in accordance with Planning Circular PD 1/08 which was issued on 26 February 2008. The information requested should be sought from the relevant planning authorities.The taking in charge of housing estates by local authorities is provided for under section 180 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended (the Act), and the procedures for this are initiated under section 11 of the Roads Act 1993, as amended. The taking in charge of residential estates is also a reserved function of the elected members. It is generally a standard condition of granting permission for housing scheme development that the developer must lodge a security bond to ensure the satisfactory completion of the development to enable it to be taken in charge by the local authority.Therefore, the progression of individual developments through the taking-in-charge process should, in the first instance, be a matter for the relevant housing developer, the relevant local authority and elected members to consider on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, such as where a local plebiscite may be held, there is a role for local residents.Under Section 30 of the Act, I, in my role as Minister with responsibility for planning, am precluded from exercising any power or control in relation to any particular case with which a planning authority or the Board is or may be concerned.

Housing Schemes

Questions (663)

Thomas Gould

Question:

663. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of cost rental backstop tenancy purchases completed; the number in progress and the number refused, by county, in tabular form. [12574/24]

View answer

Written answers

The Government has developed the Cost Rental Tenant In-Situ (CRTiS) scheme for tenants in private rental homes who are at risk of homelessness because a landlord intends to sell the property but who are not in receipt of social housing supports.

The scheme was established on a temporary administrative basis from 1 April 2023 and is managed by the Housing Agency, pending further policy development over the longer term, with the intention of transitioning these homes to the standard Cost Rental model.

I am informed that the Housing Agency are engaging with more than 130 landlords across all Local Authority areas, with a view to the purchase of those homes.

Data for affordable housing delivery is published on a quarterly basis, similar to social housing delivery. This data is published up to Quarter 3 2023, including CRTiS figures, and is available on my Department's website: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.

Fire Safety

Questions (664)

James Lawless

Question:

664. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage for an update on the establishment of the interim remediation scheme to tackle some of the most serious fire safety issues in apartment blocks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12584/24]

View answer

Written answers

I announced on 11 December 2023 the opening of the Interim Remediation Scheme (Scheme) for the funding of emergency fire safety defect works in apartments and duplexes, constructed between 1991 and 2013.

The Scheme, which is being administered by the Housing Agency on a nationwide basis, is open to applications from Apartment Owner Management Companies (OMCs) via the Housing Agency’s website:

www.housingagency.ie/interim-remediation-scheme-fire-safety-defects-eligible-apartments-and-duplexes-2023.

In the period since the Scheme’s launch, up to and including 29 February 2024, 110 applications are being progressed across 26 local authority areas, representing a total of 11,350 residential units.

Fire Service

Questions (666)

Dara Calleary

Question:

666. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if retained firefighters will be included in pension age increase for uniformed workers. [12659/24]

View answer

Written answers

My Department has already taken a number of steps to incrementally increase the retirement age for retained fire-fighters from 55 to 60, following engagements in the Labour Court and the Work Place Relations Commission.

The Government has recently approved an increase in the mandatory retirement age for other members of the uniformed services including An Garda Síochana, the Defence Forces and the Irish Prison Service. It is my intention to examine a similar extension to the mandatory retirement age for both full time and retained firefighters with a view to providing consistency in the uniformed services.

Vacant Properties

Questions (667)

Pauline Tully

Question:

667. Deputy Pauline Tully asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will permit applicants for the vacant property grant reside in the house prior to applying for the grant where they are facing homelessness. [12660/24]

View answer

Written answers

Pathway 4 of Housing for All sets out a blueprint to address vacancy and make efficient use of our existing housing stock.

The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant supports bringing vacant and derelict properties back into use. A grant of up to a maximum of €50,000 is available for the refurbishment of vacant properties for occupation as a principal private residence and for properties which will be made available for rent.

Where the refurbishment costs are expected to exceed the standard grant of up to €50,000, a maximum top-up grant amount of up to €20,000 is available where the property is confirmed by the applicant to be derelict or where the property is already on the local authority’s Derelict Sites Register, bringing the total grant available for a derelict property up to a maximum of €70,000. The grant is available in respect of vacant and derelict properties built up to and including 2007, in towns, villages, cities and rural areas.

The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant is available to properties which have been vacant for 2 years or more prior to the grant application.

When the Croí Cónaithe Towns Fund was launched, a commitment was given that the schemes funded by it would be kept under ongoing review. It is intended that a comprehensive review and evaluation of the schemes under the Croí Cónaithe Towns Fund will be undertaken by mid-2024.

Nitrates Usage

Questions (668)

Catherine Connolly

Question:

668. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to provide outline details of the results of the 2023 Interim Review of the State's current Nitrates Action Programme (NAP); the details of where the 2023 Review is published and available to the public; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12664/24]

View answer

Written answers

My Department, in close collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, and with the Nitrates Expert Group have undertaken an interim review of the Fifth Nitrates Action Programme and have developed a suite of proposed additional measures that also fulfil the requirements of the Commission’s Implementing Decision on the Nitrates Derogation.

All proposed measures were screened to determine if an Appropriate Assessment (AA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) must be undertaken. This screening assessment of the draft measures identified that both assessments are legally required. As such the following steps are required in advance of the proposed additional measures from the Interim Review being published:

1. A full NIS under the Habitats Directive and a SEA will be drafted.

2. The draft NIS will be submitted for an AA Determination by the Ecological Assessment Unit (EAU) of National Parks and Wildlife Services.

3. A 30 (calendar) day public consultation of the proposed measures, the draft NIS and SEA will then be undertaken. This consultation is legally required a part of the AA determination process and the SEA process.

4. Consultation responses will be collated and inform the final measures.

Once completed, I will be in a position to finalise the measures and sign the amended GAP regulations. This is likely to be in the summer, subject to no delays in the above timeline.

Housing Provision

Questions (669, 673)

Cian O'Callaghan

Question:

669. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of social housing units provided through long-term leasing in 2023; if he will provide a list of these developments and the number of units provided in each, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Question:

673. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide a list of the locations where social housing has been provided for through long term leasing since 2017, broken down by year, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12697/24]

View answer

Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 669 and 673 together.

Long term lease arrangements can be entered into by either local authorities or approved housing bodies (AHBs) for periods of between 10 and 25 years.

Local authorities or AHBs lease dwellings taking account of local need, the suitability of dwellings, sustainable communities’ considerations and value for money. These properties are allocated to households on the social housing waiting list.

Details of the number of social housing units provided through long-term leasing from 2017 up to Q3 2023 can be found on my Department's website at the following links:

Wildlife Regulations

Questions (670)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh

Question:

670. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if a possible increased danger to the public was taken when extending the deer hunting season period to include August which is still the most outdoor popular holiday season (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12673/24]

View answer

Written answers

Deer hunting can occur in Ireland all year round, not just during the deer hunting open season. A landowner may apply for a permit under S42 of the Wildlife Acts 1976, as amended, to control deer on their land where serious damage is being caused. This hunting predominantly occurs on private land where hunters must have permission to hunt. Also deer are most active at dawn and dusk and are more likely to avoid areas of heavy footfall by visitors.

In relation to the management of deer on State lands staff of the National Parks & Wildlife Service (NPWS) involved in deer management are highly trained and avoid busy periods and areas of the National Parks where there are likely to be visitors. Management of deer within State forests is operated by Coillte who issue licences to individuals that contain conditions in relation to when and at what times licencees may hunt, including putting up warning signs in those areas.

State owned lands are busy with recreational users and visitors all year round where deer hunting has been occurring for many years.

The results of the change to the Open Seasons Order will be monitored through the measurement of impacts on the ground and the need for further changes to the open season will be considered again in light of that data.

Housing Provision

Questions (674)

Cian O'Callaghan

Question:

674. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will provide a list of the locations where affordable housing has been provided for through long term arrangements, broken down by year, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12698/24]

View answer

Written answers

Housing for All sets out the range of actions necessary to increase the supply of housing to the required 33,000 homes, on average, per year over the next decade. 54,000 affordable homes will be delivered between now and 2030 to be facilitated by local authorities, Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), the Land Development Agency (LDA) and through First Home, which is a strategic partnership between the State and retail banks.

To date, over 3,800 affordable housing solutions have been delivered, supported by the Affordable Housing Fund, the Cost Rental Equity Loan, Project Tosaigh and the First Home Scheme. This momentum will continue as the pipeline of affordable housing delivery is developed and expanded by our delivery partners, including local authorities, AHBs, the LDA, and First Home.

Data for affordable housing delivery is published on a quarterly basis, similar to social housing delivery. This data is published up to Quarter 3 2023, including AHB and LDA cost rental delivery, and is available on my Department's website:

www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/#affordable-housing-delivery .

Local Authorities have recently submitted returns on delivery of social, affordable purchase and cost rental homes in their administrative areas, including returns for AHBs and the LDA, for Quarter 4 2023. This data is currently being verified. I expect that my Department will be in a position to report on delivery of affordable and social housing for 2023 by end Q1 2024, in line with the usual publication timelines.

Rental Sector

Questions (675)

Cian O'Callaghan

Question:

675. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if his Department has plans for when long term leasing arrangements are concluded; if social housing tenants will need to be rehoused elsewhere; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12699/24]

View answer

Written answers

Under the Housing for All strategy, the Government plans to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 homes per year over the next decade. This includes the delivery of 90,000 social homes, 36,000 affordable purchase homes and 18,000 cost rental homes. Housing for All is supported by an investment package of over €4bn per annum, through an overall combination of €12bn in direct Exchequer funding, €3.5bn in funding through the Land Development Agency and €5bn funding through the Housing Finance Agency.

Under the Housing for All plan, entry into new long term leasing, which includes Enhanced Leasing, will be phased out by the end of 2025 and my Department is continuing to engage with local authorities in this regard. Long term leasing targets were set to deliver 3,500 social homes from 2022 to 2025, tapering down from 1,300 units in 2022 to 200 units in 2025.

It is the responsibility of the local authority to ensure any social housing tenants are rehoused as and when lease arrangements end as appropriate.

Housing for All commits to ending long term leasing by the end of 2025. This policy remains unchanged. Notwithstanding this, leasing continues to be an important mechanism for expedited delivery to meet social housing needs as build supply ramps up to meet demand.

Planning Issues

Questions (676)

Michael Fitzmaurice

Question:

676. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if a private developer is to go through the normal planning process on private lands for building Ukrainian modular accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12705/24]

View answer

Written answers

The European Union (Planning and Development) (Displaced Persons from Ukraine Temporary Protection) Regulations 2022 (SI 306 of 2022) were introduced in response to the emerging Ukrainian crisis. The Regulations give effect to Council Directive No 2001/55 EC and Council Implementing Decision EU 2022/382 of 4 March 2022 (European Council Decision) to provide immediate protection in EU countries for persons displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, including the need to provide emergency accommodation and support to these displaced persons.

The Regulations (SI 306 of 2022) provide that the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (other than the environmental considerations in Sections 181A to 181C) will not apply to certain classes of development for the purposes of providing temporary protection to displaced persons as specified in the Regulations. The development must be provided by or on behalf of the State.

The Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY) is taking the lead in terms of coordinating the response to the Ukrainian crisis by Government Departments and National Agencies, and accommodation is being provided through the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS).

Departmental Funding

Questions (677)

Robert Troy

Question:

677. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will publish a list of the NGOs funded by his Department; and the level the funding each NGO received in the past three years, in tabular form. [12723/24]

View answer

Written answers

The information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51
My Department provides funding to a range of organisations that might be considered non-governmental organisations (NGOs). However, there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes an NGO and so the Department does not hold information on the NGO status, or otherwise, of bodies in receipt of funding. On that basis I am providing an indicative list of organisations commonly considered to be NGOs that my Department allocated funding to in the past three years. Details are in the following table:
