591. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the annual local authority income and expenditure for the period 2008 to 2019 for the rental accommodation scheme, housing assistance payment, acquisition and new builds in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
