View answerMy Department publishes a Social Housing Construction Status Report each quarter, which contains details of all social housing developments completed, under construction or at the planning and design stage in each local authority area including Kerry. The report provides details of the location of each project, the status and the number of units approved. Information on the number and type of units in a particular development is not available centrally for reporting purposes. The most recent report, published on 28 May 2021, covers the period up to the end of Quarter 1 2021 and is available at the following link:
