Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 7 December 2023
225. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the total number of local authority housing starts recorded on a monthly basis over the course of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54430/23]
View answerMy Department collects and publishes statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing completions rather than commencements. This includes data by local authority and is available to the end of Quarter 2 of 2023 on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.
To give further information of the advancement of individual social housing projects, we also publish a Social Housing Construction Status Report with details of project locations and stage of advancement including developments that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of the design and tender processes. That data is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/cb885-social-housing-construction-projects-status-reports/.
The statistics for Quarter 3 of 2023 for Social Housing Delivery are currently being collated and will be published as soon as possible, in conjunction with the Quarter 3 Social Housing Construction Status Report.
