I refer to the reply to Questions Nos. 115 and 116 of 7 February 2013 which set out the responsibilities of housing authorities in monitoring the operation of projects funded under the voluntary housing funding schemes and which are managed and maintained by Approved Housing Bodies (AHB’s).

My Department will be arranging a meeting with the Director of Service and senior housing officials in Kildare County Council as soon as possible to discuss the council’s social housing programme for 2013 . Issues pertaining to operation and management of the Léim an Bhradáin housing project will be a specific matter for discussion at this meeting.
