Statistical information in relation to local authority social housing delivery is published on the statistics page of my Department's website. Data in relation to local authority direct delivery between 2004-2015 is available at the following link:

www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/attachments/la_build_2004-2015.xlsx .

From 2015, a single table broken down by each local authority of all social housing delivery, including local authority new build, and Approved Housing Body (AHB) new build, has been published. This is available at the following link:

www.housing.gov.ie/housing/social-housing/social-and-affordble/overall-social-housing-provision.

AHBs may deliver social housing under a variety of delivery schemes, and in some cases through own finance arrangements that do not require Departmental funding. My Department monitors delivery, as it relates to output under schemes funded by the Department, and therefore would not have full visibility on non-funded units, which have been allocated to tenants in a particular local authority. Data in relation to AHB build delivery between 2004 and 2015 is available under the headings "Capital Assistance Scheme" and "CLSS" at the second weblink above.

Detailed scheme level information in relation to the location and status of new build social housing delivery by local authority and AHBs has been published by my Department since 2016 under the Social Housing Construction Status Report. The most recent version of this report, setting out the position at end Q2 2018, is available on the Rebuilding Ireland website at
