Information regarding the annual Estimates of Public Expenditure, including the overall amounts made available for the delivery of housing programmes, is available on the website of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at the following link:.

There is no precise amount of funding notified to individual local authorities for the delivery of housing in a particular year as my Department provides the relevant funding to local authorities as social housing projects are advanced. The funding provided by my Department in respect of the delivery of housing programmes each year from 2005 to date in 2018 is set out in the table below. The data is provided from 2005 onwards in order to align with the introduction of my Department’s current financial management system during 2004.

The breakdown of the data at individual local authority level over the 14 year period is not readily available. However, if the Deputy is concerned about a specific local authority or local authorities, I will have the matter explored further on receipt of the relevant information.
