My Department has indicated to Limerick County Council that the works proposed to the eight local authority houses should be progressed under the remedial works scheme. Approval for this was conveyed to the council on 12 February with regard to such works as the provision of new pitched roofs to replace existing flat roofs, the re-cladding of external walls and the upgrading of windows, external doors, external finishes, re-wiring and installation of central heating.
In the case of privately owned houses included in the scheme, my Department has informed the council that external works only will be considered for funding and the council has been requested to submit revised costings.
