Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 February 2022
334. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of social houses that his Department intends to build in County Tipperary between 2022 and 2026, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6632/22]
View answerI issued individual targets to each local authority in September 2021, in respect of the delivery required under the Housing for All target of 47,600 built social homes, for each of the years from 2022 to 2026.
The targets in respect of Tipperary County Council are as follows -
|
2022 |
2023 |
2024 |
2025 |
2026 |
|
230 |
155 |
158 |
170 |
174 |
In addition, a Housing Delivery Action Plan which will set out how Tipperary County Council propose to deliver their housing targets, is currently being reviewed by my Department and will be published in Quarter 2 of 2022.
For the purpose of tracking social housing delivery, a Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR) is published each quarter by my Department. This provides details of the individual social housing build projects in the programme of each local authority, including Tipperary County Council. It will be the schemes listed in the CSR that will form the basis for new build delivery of social homes in the local authorities during 2022 and beyond. The most recent CSR publication covers the period up to the end of Quarter 3 of 2021, and is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/feea9-social-housing-construction-projects-status-report-q3-2021/. Further specific information of Tipperary County Council's build programme will be available from the local authority itself.
I'm keen that all local authorities progress their social housing schemes as quickly as possible and that they receive the support of public representatives in the advancement of their programmes.
