Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 May 2012
215 Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of new housing units completed each year since 1980 broken down between apartments and houses; the number expected to be completed each year for the next five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22450/12]
View answerMy Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of housing policy and these can be viewed on my Department's website www.environ.ie. While data regarding housing completions are available online back to 1970, no breakdown by housing type is available prior to 1994. Future output depends on a wide range of factors and my Department does not make output predictions for the wider housing market.
