- The average waiting time between assessment/grading & window replacement for those who had their windows replaced in 2013 in the Clondalkin LEA?

REPLY:

The following is an outline of the details requested:

The total allocation for the window programme in 2013 was €961,000. 

While the funding is not specifically split between each area  38% of the available funding went to replacements in Clondalkin.  The funding has either been spent or committed as the remaining replacements are either being fitted or being manufactured. 

53 houses had replacements in Clondalkin and another 11 are in progress. 

The number on the list for replacement at 1st January 2013 was 309 and the number on list at 1st December 2013 after deducting the 64 is 318 (it is a live list and is being added to on an ongoing basis).  The grading is also done  on a continuous basis.

It is impossible to provide  information relating to waiting times as replacement is dependent on time on list, priority given to people with medical condition or very senior OAP and state of rent account and anti-social activity.
