Amharc ar fhreagraSince 1st January 2007 local authorities have delegated sanction to fund expenditure on improvement works to the local authority housing stock out of Internal Capital Receipts (ICR’s). The ICR-funded work programme is carried out on a county-at-large basis and is subject to annual approval by my Department. It is a matter for the local authority to determine the nature and location of these improvement works programmes.
