I propose to take Questions Nos. 213 and 214 together.
Total Exchequer expenditure across the various housing programmes was €1,710m in 2008 and €1,392m in 2009. The Exchequer allocation for 2010 is €1,165m. The provision for 2011 and subsequent years will be determined in the context of the determination of the Estimates for Public Services for those years. The Exchequer allocation is supplemented each year by a non-voted allocation comprising loan finance channelled to local authorities from the Housing Finance Agency and local authority own resources. Details of allocations for 2010 to each local authority under the various subheads is available on my Department's website:

Local authorities source units for use as social housing from the wider housing market under both the main local authority programme and under the leasing initiative. The price paid for any units acquired under the main programme is determined on the basis of market value. In terms of units sourced under the leasing initiative lease payments are based on a discounted market rent.
