664. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of properties offered and secured under the repair and lease scheme by each local authority in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8240/19]

Further progress under the scheme will be evident in the Q4 2018 data which will be published shortly.
