I propose to take Questions Nos. 551 and 556 together.

Information to end September 2006 on activity under Part V of the Planning and Development Acts 2000 to 2006 in each local authority area is published in my Department's Quarterly Housing Statistics Bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library, and is also available on my Department's website at www.environ.ie. Provisional data for 2006 indicate that 1,600 affordable housing units were completed under Part V nationally, 76 of which were in County Kildare.
