I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, in relation to the Living City Initiative, applications are only required to be made to the relevant local authority under the residential element of the scheme. Applications are not required to be made under the commercial element of the scheme. Since the scheme launched in May 2015, based on information received from the councils to date, the number of applications received under the residential element of the Living City Initiative per eligible city is as follows:
