View answerMy Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy. Data on number of Local Authority mortgage repossessions, broken down by year and location, are included within this range, and are available on my Department’s website at: http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/FileDownLoad,15295,en.xls on the “Local Authority Mortgage repossession data ” link under the “Housing Loans” heading. The data is further broken down by the category of the repossession, whether forced or voluntary.
