Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2026
807. Deputy Conor Sheehan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the total amount allocated to each local authority for tenant-in-situ in 2024 and 2025; the total amount spent by each local authority, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12325/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe funding drawndown by local authorities under my Department's Social Housing Second Hand Acquisition Programme in 2024 and 2025, including for Tenancy Sustainment or Tenant in Situ acquisitions, is set out in the table below.
My Department did not issue funding allocations to local authorities in 2024. Rather each local authority was provided with a number of acquisitions that could be supported through the Programme.
The expenditure covers all areas of activity, including the purchase price, the legal and professional fees to transact the sale, and necessary refurbishment works required to the property.
Expenditure in a year can include costs related to dwellings acquired by local authorities and AHBs in previous years.
