Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Further Revised)

James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)
The Deputy will be aware that expenditure does not always neatly fit into a 12-month period of delivery. Some, such as CALF, is forward funded and there will always be a question with local authorities as to when they actually finalise contracts, draw down funds and so on. It is never as neat having a target of X and simply multiplying that out by the cost of those houses.
