232. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage further to Parliamentary Question Nos. 192 and 193 of 6 October 2022, if he will provide this Deputy with the most up-to-date unit ceiling costs for new-build social housing schemes for houses and apartments built in each local authority area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50856/22]

Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

My Department provides Unit Cost Ceilings (UCCs) to each local authority as a key benchmark for the development and costing of new build social housing. As UCCs are based on previously tendered social housing construction projects, they act as useful guide costs for local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies against which to benchmark their projects.

A copy of these UCC’s in tabular format will be provided in accordance with Standing Orders.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51

A reply has issued directly from Minister O'Brien providing the Deputy with the information sought.
