In terms of communal facilities for social housing, we provide a certain amount of money for them. The previous Government had a strong record in terms of supporting funding for various projects to ensure communities had the necessary facilities they needed. Those supports came from the Department of housing but also included other supports that people needed.

Regarding delivery and draw-down, allocations are often based on what we expect the demand to be from local authorities. If local authorities come in to deliver more social housing and need more funding for communal facilities, we will always examine those requests.
