I propose to take Questions Nos. 622 and 623 together.

My Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy. Data on the total rental income is based on fully audited rental income figures and the most up to date figures are for 2013. Data on the average rental income based on those rental income figures for a local authority house are included within this range, and are available on my Department’s website at: http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/FileDownLoad,15291,en.xls, by clicking on the “Number of local authority houses let from 1994” link under the “Social Housing Supports” heading.

Data on rent arrears are also available on my Department’s website at: http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/FileDownLoad,15291,en.xls, by clicking on the "L.A. Rent Arrears" link under the "Social Housing Supports" heading. 2014 figures will be available shortly.
