Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 April 2021
469. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund funding that has been drawn down by local authority to date in 2021, in tabular form. [21579/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn terms of the Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF) funding drawdown, thus far, most infrastructure projects have been at the design, planning and procurement stages, and the bulk of expenditure will arise during the construction phase. This is reflected in the level of expenditure to end 2020, with approximately €59.916m in Exchequer funds drawn down (matched by a further 25% local authority funding bringing the total expenditure to approximately €79.888m). A further €4.995m (matched by a further 25% local authority funding bringing the total expenditure to approximately €6.66m) has been drawn down to date in 2021. Whilst drawdown to date has been in-line with expectations and budget profiling, at this time it is not fully apparent what impact the extended closure of the construction sector due to the Level 5 public health restrictions will have on LIHAF funding claims in 2021. The table below details the exchequer funding drawn down for the period 01 January 2021 to 28 April 2021.
