Housing authorities are responsible for the assessment of social housing need within their administrative areas and for the compilation of strategies and programmes which optimise the delivery of social housing having regard to the resources available across the full range of measures supported under my Department’s Social Housing Investment Programme.

It is a matter for individual authorities to prioritise the housing projects to be advanced under each of these measures. This year, my Department is providing some € 3.158 million to Cork County Council in respect of their housing construction and acquisitions programme s for 2014.
