My Department issued approval to Carlow County Council for a 9 unit Repair and Leasing project at the first address supplied in November 2022.

An application for approval for a 10 unit Repair and Leasing project at the second address supplied is currently being assessed and my Department is in correspondence with the local authority to finalise details of this proposal.

Under the Repair and Leasing Scheme, the property owner submits invoices to the local authority following completion of work, either at the completion of the project or on the completion of agreed milestones. My Department recoups funding to the local authority. As such, the timeline for payments is a matter between the local authority and the property owner.
