MEETING OF ANNUAL BUDGET MEETING

Monday, December 17, 2012

QUESTION NO. 13

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

A0501 The amount spent in 2012 is much lower than projected and reflects the provision for 2013, why is this given the reported increase in homelessness?

REPLY:

This reduction is due to the reconfiguration of the Homeless Services for the Dublin Region and the fact that Dublin City is designated the lead Authority for the Region.

By agreement Dublin City deal with supports for the other Dublin Authorities and therefore not all grants from the DoECLG and HSE are channelled through South Dublin County Council.  It does not in any way effect the services we provide.
