I propose to take Questions Nos. 799 to 803, inclusive, together.

My Department provides funding to local authorities for various social housing supports, including for adaptations and extensions to the social housing stock to meet needs of local authority tenants with a disability or to address serious overcrowding. Funding provided by my Department meets 90% of the cost of such works, with each local authority providing the remaining 10%. The administration of the grants is a matter f or individual local authorities and therefore information in relation to the number of applications received by each authority and the number of works carried out and pending completion for each authority are not available in my Department.

The amount sought for the years 2014 and 2015 are listed below, as is the amount allocated for 2014 . The allocations for 2015 will be made shortly.
