Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern)

The latest information available, to end June 2006 on the number of affordable housing units acquired under the various Affordable Housing Schemes is published in my Department's Housing Statistics Bulletins, which are available in the Oireachtas Library and on the Department's website at www.environ.ie. In addition, some €38 million has been received in lieu of land under Part V.
