I propose to take Questions Nos. 260 and 261 together.

The Housing Agency has indicated that it has four individuals working full time on applications for the Rebuilding Ireland Home Loan. The number assigned can be scaled up or down, depending on demand, to maintain a response time for returning recommendations to local authorities within 10-days.

My Department does not hold details of the number of staff assigned to individual areas of work in each local authority; this is a matter for each local authority Chief Executive.
