I propose to take Questions Nos. 359 and 360 together.
My Department has a wide and diverse business agenda which includes a range of social housing programmes under the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan, private housing grants, the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund, the Serviced Sites Fund, funding of Irish Water, the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund, and the Local Government Fund, as well as a range of smaller-scale programmes such as rural water schemes, fire services, and Met Éireann. In order to deliver on this broad business agenda, my Department allocates significant resources to a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, dedicated agencies and non-statutory bodies, as well as to individuals.
The information requested on funding allocated by my Department to, and drawn down in respect of, projects in the areas concerned from 2016 is not readily available in my Department. The compilation of this information would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work. If a more specific question is tabled relating to a particular aspect of funding from my Department, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
Funding allocated by agencies under the remit of my Department is a matter for the bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each agency under the aegis of the Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email addresses for each agency are set out as follows.
