Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Jan O'Sullivan)

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. Data on the number of households that are availing of the rental accommodation scheme are included in this range up to end- 2012.
