Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2012
483 Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when he intends to issue a call for proposals to avail of the 2012 capital assistance scheme; the amount of funding that will be made available through this scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10898/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraWork is currently underway on preparing the Social Housing Investment Programme for 2012, including projects funded under the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS). Information submitted by local authorities is still being collated and examined. I will, in the context of an examination of existing programme commitments under the CAS, give consideration to the financial scope for a call for proposals for new CAS projects during 2012. I envisage making announcements in relation to budgets or allocations for the various housing supply programmes in early March.
