Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

I propose to take Questions Nos. 253 and 287 to 294, inclusive, together.

It is not possible to provide details of average unit costs or the total cost of future social or affordable homes delivered through Part V due to a number of factors. These factors include variables such as unit type, land cost, development and construction costs, costs and source of finance, together with ongoing maintenance and management fees, etc. Further details of the cost of units delivered through Part V will be available following the completion of projects.

My Department publishes statistics of housing delivered through Part V on a quarterly basis. This data is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/fd048-affordable-housing-and-part-v-statistics/#part-v-scheme

My Department does not hold any information relating to the cost of increasing the Part V contribution from 20% to a statutory minimum of 30% and due to the range of issues outlined above, it is not possible to provide such an estimate.
