The exact breakdown of information requested by the Deputy is not available.

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has published the following statistics in relation to housing stock in Ireland on Census night, 24 April 2016.

Table 1 below indicates the housing stock as recorded in Census 2016, in Dublin City, County Dublin (excluding Dublin City) and the rest of the country.

Table 1 – Housing Stock, 2016.

The CSO expects to produce equivalent data on housing stock arising from Census 2022.

The CSO also publishes an annual estimate of the Capital Stock of Fixed assets at the end of each year. Fixed Assets are non-financial produced assets that are used repeatedly or continuously in production for more than one year (such as buildings, machinery and equipment, and computer software).

The Net Capital Stock and Gross Capital Stock are shown in Table 2 below for Dwellings (excluding Land), and Other Buildings and Structures (excluding roads). The Net Capital Stock includes the effect of depreciation while the Gross Capital Stock does not. The figures exclude the value of land. These figures were published by the CSO in November 2020 and are based on the National Income and Expenditure release of 2019 (NIE 2019). There is no regional breakdown available for the Capital Stock data.
