The Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government has issued an order in respect of the allocation of social housing to ensure that 50% of all allocations go to homeless people. I also do not hear interviews with anybody who has been awarded a voided apartment or house that has been renovated and made fit for living in again. There will be 765 of those in Dublin by the end of this year, with 633 provided to date.

The social housing budget has already been set out. The Deputy might have been misinformed in her comment on it, but it has been extended from what she said. The money for Dublin city amounts to €37 million for 2015. By the end of August, €33.4 million of that had been expended. That leaves money available for further expenditure to deal with housing.

As I said, the chief executives have all been called to Dublin tomorrow by the Minister. Some 70% of all the funding allocated has been allocated to Dublin.
