Funding for the Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP) is allocated on the basis of local authority areas. The recently announced capital allocations for 2008 are provided for the supply of local authority housing and for a range of improvement works. The allocations for Cork County Council, and Mallow, Fermoy, Youghal, Cobh and Midleton Town Councils are detailed in the table below. This information is also available on my Department's website, www.environ.ie
| Local Authority | Supply | Remedial Works | Regeneration schemes | Central Heating | Total |
| (€) | (€) | (€) | (€) | (€) | |
| Cork County | 52,000,000 | 700,000 | — | 4,000,000 | 56,700,000 |
