View answerAction 5.13 of Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness commits to the alignment of the social housing investment programme and ongoing work in resolving unfinished housing developments in order to target opportunities for strategic acquisition and re-development of brownfield development sites, drawing on a further 2016 National Housing Development Survey.
The 2016 survey of unfinished housing developments is currently under way. It is expected that the survey results, including a breakdown of unfinished housing developments in each local authority area, together with progress reports and additional useful information in relation to the prospects for resolving the remaining Unfinished Housing Developments, will be published by my Department before the end of this year.
