507 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if approval will be given to the inclusion of a specific project in the extension to local authority houses scheme in respect of a house (details supplied) in County Cork. [8091/06]
Amharc ar fhreagra
The operation of the scheme of extensions to local authority houses is a matter for local authorities. Under the scheme, local authorities have delegated authority to proceed with works where the cost is less than €75,000. In cases where the work is estimated to cost in excess of €75,000, my Department's approval is required. In this instance, it is understood that the cost of the proposed work is less than the devolved limit and that my Department's approval is not required.
