Question:

503 Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the figure for the average return on rent from a local authority housing unit. [36386/12]

Written answers

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

My Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing and planning statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy, and those data are available on my Department's website www.environ.ie. Data on the average weekly rent of local authority dwellings up to 2009 are included within that range. I expect that data for 2010 and 2011 will be published in the Autumn.
