Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 November 2017
639. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of social houses built and occupied in each local authority area for the year to date in 2017, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49322/17]
View answerThrough the supports made available under Rebuilding Ireland, funding is available to all local authorities to deliver additional social housing stock through new construction projects and through the acquisition of new and previously owned houses/apartments for social housing use, including through working with approved housing bodies.
Details on the number of properties purchased and built in all local authority areas, for letting to those on the social housing waiting lists, are available on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/social-housing/social-and-affordble/overall-social-housing-provision. Information on quarter three of 2017 is currently being finalised and will be published shortly.
