View answerMy Department does not keep data on turnaround times, from void to occupancy, for local authority dwellings. Statistics in relation to social housing are compiled by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in its annual reports on Performance Indicators in Local Authorities. These statistics are set out by local authority and include the average time from date of vacation of the dwelling to the date when a new occupancy had commenced, with the most recent report relating to 2016. This report is available on the NOAC website at the following link: http://noac.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2016-PI-Report.pdf.
