Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Deputy Peter Burke)

The information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51

The expenditure information requested is set out in the table below.

In respect of homeless expenditure, it should be noted that my Department does not fund the operational costs associated with the provision of any homeless accommodation or services directly, but provides funding to housing authorities towards the overall costs incurred in the provision of homeless accommodation. Housing authorities may also incur expenditure on homeless related services outside of the funding arrangements with my Department. Therefore, the amount of funding granted by housing authorities to individual homeless services is a matter for the relevant housing authority. Financial reports from each of the homeless regions, setting out expenditure on homeless services are published on my Department’s website at the following link:
