In 2011, my Department provided funding of €27.35 million to support the Ballymun Regeneration Programme. Of this, €6.15 million was used to support the administrative overhead of the regeneration company, Ballymun Regeneration Ltd. €16.75 million was recouped to meet the ongoing costs of the regeneration programme including construction, demolition, site-reinstatements, public infrastructure including parks, and to support a range of social regeneration investments. The remaining €4.45 million related to house purchases to facilitate the urgent relocation of households from those blocks and towers that had not been refurbished. Despite the constraints on capital expenditure across the public sector, my Department continues to prioritise the National Regeneration Programme within the overall housing capital provision for 2012. To that end, I have made €25 million available for the regeneration programme in Ballymun this year.
