Written answers

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

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 social housing units built are included in this range and are broken down by local authority area. We do not, however, collect information on the allocation of units.
