MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO.9

QUESTION: Councillor C. King

To ask the Manager, if the recent government cut backs have had or will have an negative impact on the SDCC Housing construction programme, if so has the manager been able to redirect certain funds to ensure the complete roll out of current phases of the programme?

REPLY:

The 2008 DoEHLG Capital allocation as advised in June 2008 in respect of housing supply in South Dublin County is set out below.

Local Authority :      E75M

Voluntary     :          E27M

Travellers    :          E 8M

Internal resources:  E12M

TOTAL        :        E122M

This allocation has been examined in respect of the overall housing construction programme and will be sufficient to permit completion of schemes on site, acquisition of agreed Part V properties  and commencement of elements of the planned programme. A full and detailed programme will be brought to the Area Committees in September 2008 and the full Council in October 2008. As members will be aware and as indicated above the construction programme is partly funded by the Council's Internal Capital Receipts, (ICR).
