Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 117 and 118 together.

My Department does not collect data in relation to the ownership or construction of individual housing units purchased and sold in the housing market.

I understand that data published by market commentators indicates that approximately 15,500 units were owned by investment trusts at the end of 2020, making up less than 1% of over 2 million homes in Ireland.

Question No. 118 answered with Question No. 117.
