Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 October 2025
77. Deputy John Connolly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the allocation provided to each local authority in 2024 to complete change of tenancy works on local authority social housing stock, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53176/25]
View answerThe management and maintenance of local authority housing stock, including pre-letting repairs to vacant properties, the implementation of a planned maintenance programme and carrying out of responsive repairs, are matters for each individual local authority under Section 58 of the Housing Act 1966. Local authorities also have a legal obligation to ensure that all of their tenanted properties are compliant with the provisions of the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations, 2019.
The 2024 Programme provided funding of €31 million to local authorities to support the refurbishment and re-letting of a minimum of 2,300 homes, and continue the transition from a reactive, voids approach to a Planned Maintenance approach. The table below details the allocation to all local authorities under the 2024 Planned Maintenance/Voids programme.
