Written answers

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

While my Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics, the full range of which can be viewed on www.environ.ie, it does not collect the data sought in the question. The most recent information relating to the total number of houses per local authority area can be found in the 2011 census data which are available on the Central Statistics Office’s website www.cso.ie.
