Written answers

The data requested by the Deputy is not compiled by the Department.  The information set out in this response has, therefore, been prepared using Central Statistics Office (CSO) data.

Part One: Number of Residential Holdings in each Local Authority Area and Number of Residential Holdings with Oil Fired and Gas Fired Heating Systems

The data is found in Table E1053: Private Households in Permanent Housing Units 2011 to 2016 by Type of Central Heating, Aggregate Town or Rural Area, County and City and CensusYear at the CSO StatBank website at the following link:

https://statbank.cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Statire/SelectVarVal/Define.asp?MainTable=E1053&TabStrip=Select&PLanguage=0&FF=1

The data is drawn from the census of 2016; the data was published on 20 April 2017.
