I propose to take Questions Nos. 560 and 561 together.

Under my Department’s Social Housing Investment Programme, funding is provided to housing authorities in respect of a range of measures which include the construction and acquisition of houses and apartments by local authorities and Approved Housing bodies, the regeneration of large social housing estates and flat complexes, estate-wide remedial works, energy efficiency and retrofitting works, Traveller- specific accommodation, extensions and adaptations to housing stock and the housing adaptation grants schemes for older people and people with a disability.

Work is currently underway on preparing the capital allocations under the Social Housing Investment Programme for 2014 and I intend to announce details of the allocations to individual local authorities shortly.

The information requested in relation to the funding provided to Cavan and Monaghan County Councils under the various measures for the period 2010 to 2013 is set out in the following tables:
