Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

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 number of refusals made under section 35 of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2010 are not included within that range.
