Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 March 2015
512. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the position regarding funding for refurbishment in respect of a housing estate (details supplied) in Dublin 5; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10008/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe management and maintenance of local authority housing stock is a matter for the relevant local authority, in this case Dublin City Council, and it is open to local authorities to address maintenance or improvements to their housing stock from within their own resources.
My Department operates certain funding programmes to support the development and improvement of social housing and a local authority seeking funding under one of these programmes is required to make application to my Department. No such application for funding for the refurbishment of the estate in question has been received.
