The management, maintenance and improvement of their rented dwellings, including the provision of bathroom facilities, are the responsibility of local authorities. To assist them in providing bathroom-shower-toilets in their dwellings which lack them, funding is provided under the bathroom subprogramme operated by my Department. A sum of £4.845 million has been allocated to Dublin Corporation to date under the subprogramme. The planning and carrying out of work is a matter for the corporation.
