Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 May 2004
190 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of independent living units built by each local authority in each of the past three years; the meetings he has had in the past year with interested groups, in relation to such relationships; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13019/04]
View answerThe number of dwellings constructed and acquired by local authorities in each of the years 2001, 2002 and 2003 was 5,022, 5,074 and 4,972 units, respectively. Detailed information on a local authority basis for 2001 and 2002 is published in my Department's annual housing statistics bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. Similar information for 2003 will be published shortly in the annual housing statistics bulletin for 2003. My Department maintains regular and continuing contacts with all local authorities and other interest groups in relation to the implementation of various social and affordable housing programmes.
