Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2012
443. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of shared ownership loans in 2010 and 2011; the number of these loans where a subsidy is paid on the rental portion; the number of these loans that are in arrears; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46464/12]
View answerMy 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 shared ownership loans in 2010 and 2011 are included within that range. While my Department collates statistics on mortgage arrears in Local Authorities these are not broken down by loan type and I am unable, therefore, to provide specific data for shared ownership arrears. The Department does not gather data on the rental subsidy applying.
