View answerOver the course of Rebuilding Ireland, it is estimated that some 4,700 social housing homes will be delivered through new build Part V units.
In terms of the trajectory of delivery for Part V, my Department has set overall targets for such delivery based on the pipeline in place for Part V and also anticipated new build activity in the private market. Part V output is reported on the Department's website at the following link:
http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/statistics/affordable-housing/affordable-housing-and-part-v-statistics.
69 Part V units were delivered in 2016. Indicative output for 2017 shows that this increased substantially to over 380 units, and 590 units are profiled for delivery in 2018.
My Department is currently finalising targets with each Local Authority, including for Part V social housing homes delivery across the period 2017-2021, with a particular focus on 2018, details of which will be published once finalised.
