Having regard to the existing high level of commitments under the Capital Assistance Scheme (CAS), I am not in a position to approve funding for these proposals at this time. They will be considered in the light of the Estimates provision for the CAS for 2010.

Having regard to the existing high level of commitments under the Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme (CLSS), it is not possible to approve the funding application submitted by South Tipperary County Council at this time. The application will be considered in the light of the Estimates provision for the CLSS in 2010, social housing needs locally and the potential for market based social housing delivery mechanisms such as long-term leasing and the rental accommodation scheme.
