View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 676 and 677 together.
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 .
Since 2008, the Department has collected data on rent arrears, calculated by the total monetary amounts owing to local authorities. Data are not collected on the breakdown of this figure by households.
