Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

Once the agreements are signed and the units are made available for social housing the allocation or tenanting of such units is a matter for the local authorities in the areas in which they are located. My Department does not hold data in relation to the tenanting of properties.
