Capital funding is available through my Department's Capital Assistance Scheme to approved voluntary housing bodies to provide accommodation to meet special housing needs, including accommodation for victims of domestic violence. My Department's involvement with the scheme relates primarily to the provision of funds. The administration of the scheme and the certification that particular projects comply with the terms of the scheme are the responsibility of the appropriate local authority. No application for funding has been received from Kildare County Council to date in respect of the project detailed in the Question.
