Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 October 2012
77. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the current turnaround times for vacant local authority homes and the average number vacant at any given time over the past 12 months. [46196/12]
View answerLocal Authorities provide information on the average time taken, from the date of vacating a unit to the date when all necessary repairs are carried out, to re-let a property in each authority, and, also, the proportion of the housing stock that is vacant at the end of each year. This information is collated and published as part of the annual Service Indicators in Local Authorities Report. Copies of the 2010 report are available from the Local Government Management Agency and may be downloaded from their website ( www.lgma.ie). I expect that the report for 2011 will be published shortly.
