Clare County Council was allocated €500,000 in 2010 under the scheme for retrofitting of energy efficiency improvements to social housing stock. The Council is currently undertaking a programme of works under this scheme and will submit a claim for recoupment of appropriate costs before the end of 2010. The works being undertaken are a matter for Clare County Council having regard to the conditions of the scheme, the particular works required to its social housing stock and their prioritisation. Until Clare County Council has submitted its 2010 recoupment claim my Department will not be in a position to confirm the number of units on which works have been carried out. The matter of Clare County Council's 2011 allocation for this scheme will as usual be considered in the context of the Social Housing Investment Programme allocations following the annual Estimates process.
