Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 10 April 2025
263. Deputy Sinéad Gibney asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the amount that is owed as of March 2025 to each local authority for expenditure on the provision of housing, by local authority, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18174/25]
View answerMy Department provides funding to local authorities on an ongoing basis as housing projects are progressed and claims fall due for payment in line with the relevant scheme conditions.
Funding only becomes owed to a local authority once all of the necessary documentation has been received and checked and the claims involved are deemed to be in order for payment. As such, the position in respect of claims changes constantly as vouched claims are received, validated and processed for payment.
Significant funding has been provided to the local authorities to date in 2025 for the delivery of Housing programmes, with over €1.1 billion recouped in the period to end March.
