I propose to take Questions Nos. 399 and 400 together.
Information in relation to the delivery of NAMA sourced units, including a full breakdown by county of units delivered by quarter, is available on the Housing Agency’ s website: www.housing.ie/NAMA. My Department, the Housing Agency and NAMA continue to work together with housing authorities and approved housing bodies in identifying suitable NAMA housing units and bringing them into social housing use. By the end of Q1 2014, 4,653 units have been identified by NAMA as being potentially suitable for social housing and of these some 1,849 units are available and have been confirmed by local authorities as being suitable for social housing. Completed housing unit transfers stand at 518 , with a further 166 units contracted and with completion work on-going. This brings the overall total delivery of social housing from NAMA- sourced units to 684 units (completed or contracted) since the process began. My Department does not keep a breakdown of NAMA sourced units by dwelling type on a local authority basis. From a national perspective, the position is that of these 684 units, 471 are apartments and the remaining 213 units are houses.
My Department does not keep a breakdown by number of bedrooms for all NAMA sourced units; however, the breakdown for those units in the Social Housing Leasing Initiative is 14% 1-bed, 46% 2-bed and 40% 3bed+. A breakdown by local authority of the units identified by NAMA and demand confirmed is provided in the following table.
