Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: The Deputy has gone over time. She raised a number of issues, particularly about priority 1 cases. A review is under way, but there are live applications in with the county council and will be on the list ahead of others. The scheme has worked well to date, but it was correct to point out that affordability had become an issue in the past two years. Will the witnesses revert to Deputy...

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: Sorry. Deputy Burke asked a very direct question, not to go on about broad policies. Is there a restriction on the percentage that an approved housing body can buy in a housing estate? That is the question. Is there a restriction or not? Just to be helpful to him.

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: To continue on the theme of standards, the mica scandal cost is, depending on inflation and a number of matters, between €2.5 billion and €3 billion. Defective apartments are on the far side of €2 billion. We are looking at €5 billion or €6 billion there. How much was the figure for the pyrite, roughly? Does somebody in the Department know?

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Brian Stanley: We are therefore looking at approximately €6 billion to cover those three major issues. Back in the year of our Lord 1946, an Act was passed by the Oireachtas. It was the Industrial Research and Standards Act 1946. Section 21 provided for a statutory instrument, S.I.
