My Department recently advised city and county councils of indicative budgets for the 2008-2010 period in respect of the local authority social housing programme and the Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme of funding for social housing projects promoted by voluntary and co-operative housing bodies. In that context, the housing authorities concerned have been requested to plan a social housing supply programme for that period on the basis of an indicative budget of €70m to €75m.

My Department is due to meet the housing authorities concerned today, 4 March 2008, to discuss their Housing Action Plan and final allocations for 2008 will issue to individual housing authorities as soon as possible thereafter.
