I assume the question refers to assistance from my Department under the voluntary housing capital assistance scheme. The number of local authorities that have sought funding under this scheme for the years 2002 to 2004 is set out in the following table:

The available information on the number of units completed in each local authority area in respect of the scheme in 2002 and 2003 is published in the Department's annual housing statistics bulletins for the years in question. Copies of these bulletins are available in the Oireachtas Library. Figures for 2004 are being compiled and will be published in due course in the 2004 annual bulletin.
