It is recognised that Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) make an important contribution in social housing delivery, building on their track record in terms of both housing provision and management. Last year, the AHB sector delivered over 2,000 additional units for social housing use across the country and there is a strong delivery pipeline for 2018. This demonstrates the sector’s commitment to work in partnership with local authorities to deliver the Government's ambitious targets set out in Rebuilding Ireland.
My Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics including the delivery of housing units by AHBs in the four Dublin local authorities and can be accessed on my Department's website at the following link:

With regard to information on costs, details in relation to the period involved is required in order to be able to collate and provide the information sought by the Deputy.
