Since 1st January 2007 local authorities have delegated sanction to fund expenditure on improvement works to the local authority housing stock out of Internal Capital Receipts (ICR’s). The ICR-funded work programme is carried out on a county-at-large basis and is subject to annual approval by my Department. It is a matter for the local authority to determine the nature and location of these improvement works programmes.
