The Central Bank of Ireland compiles and publishes data on a quarterly basis on mortgage arrears, repossessions and mortgage restructures. The Central Bank commenced the publication of such data for the quarter ending September 2009 in respect of principal dwelling (PDH) mortgages and from September 2012 also in respect of “buy to let” (BTL) mortgages. The Central Bank has advised that this data is available on the Central Bank website and the latest data is available on the following pages http://www.centralbank.ie/polstats/stats/mortgagearrears/Pages/releases.aspx
