- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: That means there is €297 million for the housing element of it, rather than the development levy waiver, and €97 million for the tenant in situ scheme. I looked at the statement from the previous Estimates. I am not clear on where the €200 million has gone. I say that in the sense that the €200 million was not in the original Revised Estimate, but it is in...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: The next question relates to the increases in CAS, CALF and CREL, which combined comes to approximately €370 million. Again, is it fair to assume that it is not the case that the targets will be exceeded on the AHB side, it is more that it reflects the increased cost of the contracts coming in?

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: There is a big increase for CREL. It is €225 million. Is the Minister saying he believes that this year more than 800 cost-rental units will be delivered by AHBs?

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: I am asking specifically about the CREL approved housing body cost-rental target. I would have thought a lot of that €225 million would be a mixture of construction sector inflation and the increase in the CREL to 55%.

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: Of the overall capital increase of €1 billion, some €200 million of that is not new money into the Department. It is the reversal of a temporary reallocation. Is it then the case that the other €800 million is all additional money coming into the Department, or is there other money that has been moved around programme level expenditure allocations?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: Okay. I will ask my final two questions. There is a very big jump in LIHAF funding. Last year, only €20 million was spent on it and this year's allocation was €10 million. There is an extra €225 million in there. That is a very considerable change, and if there is any explanation for that, I would be interested in it. There were two areas of expenditure announced on...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: Likewise, with the disability and adaptation grants, there seemed to be a suggestion in the press conference that there was an extra €25 million, but the budget book across the two subheads was the same as last year, so it is just to clarify.

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: I have one final question-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Estimates for Public Services 2024
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024) Eoin Ó Broin: Is it for the wider adaptation grants or the disability grants? There are two separate subheads. On the planning staff, there is an extra €8 million allocated in the budget for next year. Obviously, not all of that is for staff; there seem to be a couple of other things in a reply the Minister gave to a parliamentary question. What is the additional sanction for local authority...
