View answer622. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide a breakdown of all social leasing arrangements at present, and their annual cost, by local authority area. [25059/15]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 621 and 622 together.
Based on delivery to the end of May 2015 under the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (previously referred to as the Social Housing Leasing Initiative), the average cost of an active unit is just under €537 per month.
Of the 6,085 units delivered under the scheme to the end of May 2015, 5,772 are active at annual cost of €37m. A breakdown of the units delivered, units currently active and the cost of these units to end May 2015, by local authority, is provided in the table below.
