Budget 2021 provided €3.3 billion to support the delivery of a broad range of housing programmes this year. My Department recoups the funding to local authorities as projects and schemes are progressed and as claims fall due for payment.

Total expenditure on housing programmes to end September 2021 was €1.643 billion. The breakdown of this expenditure under the various categories is set out in the table below. As with all major capital programmes, significant recoupment takes place during Q4 each year and my Department is working closely with local authorities in that regard.
