Amharc ar fhreagraOn 21 May 2014, I announced details of capital allocations to local authorities of €46 million which will support the delivery, by Approved Housing Bodies, of some 416 units of accommodation under my Department's Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS) work programme for 2014-2015. I approved €2.2 million in respect of Phase 1 of Edel House in Cork City, which will provide 15 units of accommodation for persons with specific categories of housing need. Further phases of this project, which is designed to deliver a total of 33 units of accommodation for the Good Shepherd Services, will be considered in the context of the CAS projects to be advanced over the 2015-2016 period.
