The implementation of projects under my Department’s Capital Assistance Programme is a matter for each individual local authority. In this case, my Department issued approval in principle to the local authority in May 2014, subject to the proposal complying with the requirements of the Capital Works Management Framework and the Public Spending Code.

Full approval can only be given by my Department when the proposal is finalised within those requirements. Further information in that regard has recently been received from the local authority and is currently under consideration. My Department will be in further contact with the local authority when this correspondence has been fully assessed.
