My Department has a wide and diverse business agenda, including supporting citizens in safe and sustainable communities through the provision of access to good quality housing, fostering community development in partnership with local government, fostering sustainable development, supporting and enabling responsive local government and protecting and improving water resources.

In order to deliver on this broad business agenda, my Department recoups expenditure made by all local authorities, including Dublin City Council, under Departmental schemes. Claims from local authorities in respect of such schemes are normally verified and paid on a recoupment basis and a reprocessed in a prompt manner. My Department does not collate the data requested in the question as the generally positive payment timeframes negate the need to do so.
