Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2016
199. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of new local authority units that were acquired and the number that were leased under the Part V scheme in 2015. [18233/16]
View answerMy Department collects statistics from local authorities in relation to Part V outputs which are available on my Department’s website at www.environ.ie/housing/statistics/affordable-housing/affordable-housing-and-part-v-statistics. The returns for 2015 have been received and the information is being checked and will be published shortly.
The option for a local authority to lease units from a developer under a Part V agreement was only introduced last September and information on the use of this option was not included in the request for information sent to local authorities in respect of 2015. This information will be collected in respect of 2016 and subsequent years.
