I propose to take Questions Nos. 34 and 42 together.
Under the Public Safety Initiative, my Department has made allocations totalling some â¬2.59 million to 21 local authorities from the â¬5 million funding allocation made available to address immediate safety issues in unfinished housing developments in 2011. The types of works that have been approved to date include the fencing off of unsecured and hazardous areas, capping of pipes, installation of street lighting and other works to secure sites beyond those carried out during the normal taking in charge process. A provision of â¬2m has been made for 2012 and my Department will be making further allocations as applications are received from local authorities and assessed.
A county breakdown of the funding drawn down under the public safety initiative is set out in the table.
