I propose to take Questions Nos. 153 to 164, inclusive, together.

Total expenditure in 2022, to end September, under the various Housing capital programmes is set out in the table below.

Overall expenditure on the housing programme, including at individual programme level, will not be determined until the end of the year. Typically, Quarter 4 sees the highest level of capital expenditure as my Department recoups claims submitted by local authorities.

During 2022, the construction sector has been impacted by construction product inflation, constrained supply chains and high energy costs. This has resulted in delays to a number of housing projects, with consequential delays in the submission of claims by local authorities.

However, there has been a strong improvement in the delivery environment, supported by measures introduced by this Government to address material inflation and energy costs, through the introduction of the Inflation/ Supply Chain Delay Co-operation Framework.

We are now looking at very strong delivery in the last months of the year which will see an acceleration in the payments made by my Department across all capital programmes.

Programmes
2022 Expenditure (to end Sept)*
A.3 - Local Authority Housing €392.9m
A.7 - Capital Assistance Scheme €59.7m
A.10 - Mortgage to Rent €7.1m
A.11 - Capital Advance Leasing Facility €92.3m
A.12 – Traveller Accommodation €8.6m
A.15 - Regeneration €18.1m
A.16 - Energy Efficiency €4.0m
A.17 - Repair & Lease €2.6m
A.28 - Cost Rental Equity Loan €14.4m
A.31 - First Home Scheme €40m
