Question:

531 Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government further to Question No. 482 of 21 February 2012, and the response given, clearly the estate in question was omitted in error as when the council made amendments in April 2011 the estate was still under the control of a company (details supplied) and the estate would have fallen under both categories three and four.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Jan O’Sullivan)

The primary responsibility for the categorisation of unfinished housing developments rests with the relevant local authority. The National Housing Development Survey 2011 was compiled and published by my Department in October 2011 based on data, including categorisation of unfinished housing developments in their areas, submitted by local authorities in respect of their functional areas.
