Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 November 2014
1051. Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide in tabular form, the number of vacant local authority housing units in the Dublin City, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin local authority areas. [41866/14]
View answerWhile my Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics, the full extent of which can be viewed at http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/ it does not collect the data sought on the number of vacant local authority housing units by local authority area. However, information relating to vacant local authority housing is available in the Annual Service Indicators in Local Authorities Reports which are prepared by the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA). The most recent report, in respect of 2012, and reports for previous years are available on the LGMA website at the following link: http://www.lgcsb.ie/en/publication-category/service-indicator-reports-2004-2010.
