Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 18 October 2023
197. Deputy Violet-Anne Wynne asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage how the people of Clare will benefit from his Department’s allocations in Budget 2024; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45777/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has a wide and diverse business agenda, covering a broad range of functions, including local authority housing, voluntary housing, homeless services, estate regeneration, energy efficiency retrofitting, housing grants, rural water schemes, urban renewal/regeneration, fire services, and natural and built heritage. In order to achieve its business objectives, the Department provides significant resources to an extensive range of organisations, local authorities, Clare County Council, dedicated agencies and other bodies. Some allocations, depending on the programmes concerned, are made on a national or other non-county basis.
The Total Gross allocation for Vote 34 in Budget 2024 is €6,845m. This is made up of €2,966m Current and €3,879m Capital. A further breakdown will be available in the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2024 published by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (DPENDR) later this year. Current and Capital allocations will be further supplemented through additional funding for housing purposes provided by certain local authorities from Local Property Tax (LPT) receipts.
