382. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government the way in which the €250 million allocated in 2012 for the refurbishment of social housing was spent; the local authorities to which funds were allocated and the number of housing units owned/managed by each local authority to which funds could potentially be applied; the criteria used to determine the allocation of these funds; if he will provide similar information for the 2013 allocation of €275 million; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In 2012 a total of €394 million was recouped to local authorities under my Departments Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP). Of this, some €149 million related to measures to improve the quality and standard of the social housing stock, including the regeneration of disadvantaged social housing estates and flat complexes, estate-wide remedial works schemes, funding for extensions and adaptations to properties to meet the needs of tenants with a disability, and a retrofitting measure to improve the energy efficiency of older stock. The allocations were based on the level of contractual commitments on approved projects, the work programmes submitted by local authorities and the level of progress and outputs achieved under each of the measures under SHIP over the course of the year.
In March 2013, I announced a capital provision of €275 million for allocation to 34 city and county councils in respect of my Department’s SHIP for 2013. Of this, some €121 million related to a range of measures aimed at improving the overall quality of the social housing stock. In July I announced details of a €50 million energy retrofitting measure for the period 2013-2015 which targets grants at older houses and apartments which lack adequate insulation and draught proofing. Some €10 million has been allocated for spending in the current year. The detailed information requested in relation to the breakdown of funding provided under the various improvement measures for 2012 and 2013 is set out in the following tables.
