I propose to take Questions Nos. 462 and 471 to 473, inclusive, together.
Under Section 58 of the Housing Act, 1966, the management and maintenance of the local authority housing stock is a matter for individual authorities. In general this is to be financed from their own resources. My Department, in order to assist local authorities in the implementation of their housing programmes, provides certain funding for certain works to be carried out.
The information sought is set out in tabular format.
