View answerThrough the supports made available from my Department, funding is available to all local authorities to deliver additional social housing stock through new construction projects, through the acquisition of new and previously owned houses/apartments and through working with approved housing bodies under a range of delivery options.
Details on the number of properties purchased and built in each local authority area, including Galway City and County local authorities, for letting to those on the social housing waiting lists, are available on my Department’s website at the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/node/6338. Information on quarter four of 2017 will be published shortly.
