My Department did not issue funding allocations to local authorities for second-hand acquisitions activity in 2024, rather each local authority was provided with an initial allocation for the number of acquisitions to be supported.

For 2025 I have made €325 million available to our local authorities for their social housing second-hand acquisitions activity. The allocation of this funding across the local authorities is set out below including the proportion of the funding that has been recouped to date in 2025 to local authorities by my Department.
