Public Accounts Committee

Vote 34: Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

9:00 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

The Deputy will see a reflection of it in the briefing paper we provided before the meeting. The overall figures for the Vote in 2016, 2017 and 2018 are shown on page 4. The Deputy will see that the gross amount increased from €1.399 billion in 2016 to €3.263 billion in 2018. Obviously, some of the increase reflects a significant increase in funding for housing. However, a big chunk of it reflects the fact that funding that would have gone through the local government fund is now coming through the Vote. Therefore, it presents a more complete picture in the Vote.
