I propose to take Questions Nos. 447 to 450, inclusive, together.

My Department has a wide and diverse business agenda, covering a broad range of functions, including local authority housing, voluntary housing, homeless services, estate regeneration, energy efficiency retrofitting, housing grants, rural water schemes, urban regeneration, peatlands conservation, national parks and wildlife services, and fire services. In order to achieve its business objectives, my Department provides significant resources to an extensive range of organisations, including local authorities, dedicated agencies, and other bodies; some allocations, depending on the programmes concerned, are made on a national or other non-county basis.

However, as regards contracts for which local authorities are responsible and for which funding is provided from my Department, information on expenditure and multi-annual capital commitments are set out in the Department's Appropriation Accounts (Vote 34) for the relevant years. These are published by the Comptroller and Auditor General and are available at: www.audit.gov.ie/en/publications/. My Department's 2024 Appropriation Account will be published next year when the audit is completed.

Details in relation to specific projects (which are being advanced primarily by local authorities and Uisce Éireann) under my Department's range of capital programmes as part of Project Ireland 2040: National Development Plan 2021-2030 are set out in the Investments Projects and Programmes Tracker published by the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform on their website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/f828b-myprojectireland-interactive-map/ .

In addition, MyProjectIreland, a citizen-focused interactive map developed as part of Project Ireland 2040 in partnership with Ordnance Survey Ireland, provides details of projects around the country. This is available to be viewed at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/09022006-project-ireland-2040/?referrer=/2040 .

In terms of Social Housing delivery, my Department publishes the Construction Status Report on a quarterly basis, and contains detailed information on the status and scale of the social housing construction programme by local authority. The most recent report is available at the following link:

www.gov.ie/en/collection/cb885-social-housing-construction-projects-status-reports/

With respect to water services projects, the prioritisation and progression of individual projects is a matter for determination by Uisce Éireann. Uisce Éireann has established a team to deal with queries from Oireachtas members on issues arising in relation to its activities. The team may be contacted via email to oireachtasmembers@water.ie or by telephone on a dedicated number 0818 578 578. Alternatively, Uisce Éireann provides full details of their projects and plans to improve water and wastewater services on their website at the following link: www.water.ie/projects-plans/.
