Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 April 2014
475. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of social housing units that local authorities have commenced and completed building respectively since February 2011; and if he will provide a breakdown of this figure based on each individual year. [19140/14]
View answerMy Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of housing policy. The full range of data compiled can be viewed on my Department's website, where data on Local Authority completions and acquisitions for the individual years, broken down by county, are displayed: http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/. The published figures relate to house completions only. Figures in relation to numbers of houses commencing construction in a given year are not readily available in my Department.
