Written answers

My Department collates a large range of housing statistics. However data on nationwide mortgage repossessions derived from the main lending institutions are published by the Central Bank and can be found on that institution's website www.centralbank.ie.

In 2010, my Department began collecting data specifically in relation to local authority loan repossessions. The data can be found below in a tabular form.
