A programme of remedial works at the estate in question was undertaken in four phases from January 2003, with work still ongoing. To date almost €7 million in Internal Capital Receipts and Exchequer funding has been expended on the works. The refurbishment works broadly include the provision of external insulation, replacement of windows and doors, removal of external panelling, provision of central heating and roof and wall insulation. The project also includes extensive external and site development works. The breakdown of the information relating to the individual houses as requested in the question is not available in my Department. This information has been sought from the local authority concerned who are responsible for the management of the project and I will communicate the information to the Deputy when it becomes available.
