My Department provides funding to local authorities as projects and schemes are progressed and as relevant claims fall due for recoupment.

Details of housing expenditure under the build and acquisition delivery streams each year since 2016 are set out in the table below. Prior to the implementation of Rebuilding Ireland in 2016, the reporting of housing expenditure was undertaken on a subhead basis only.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 592 and 594 together.

Each local authority is required to prepare an Annual Financial Statement by the end of March following the year end and to publish it by the end of June. These financial statements undergo an independent audit by the Local Government Audit Service of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

The Annual Financial Statements 2019 can be found on my Department's website at www.gov.ie/en/collection/e103b-local-authority-annual-financial-statements

The breakdown of the Housing and Building Costs for 2019 are attached and can be also found in Appendix 2 (page 32) of the Annual Financial Statement.
