Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)
My Department does not provide funding to the Housing Finance Agency. The agency advances funds to local authorities to be used by them for any purpose authorised under the Housing Acts and it finances its operations by borrowing or raising funds for these purposes. The agency's annual report for 2004, including its financial statements, will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas soon.
