This week will be taken up with Estimates, which will be brought through by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin's successor. Back in April the Government informed the Commission of some adjustments to the Estimates as originally drafted.

This is on a 75% to 25% basis. The local authorities will have access to finance borrowing capacity from the Housing Finance Agency. The work will commence this year and the drawdown of that money will be next year. The figures are €17 million in 2017, €100 million in 2018 and €30 million in 2019.
