My Department publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR). The CSR provides details of social housing developments, including details of turnkey delivery, which have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of the design and pre-tender process. The most recent publication was for Q2 2022. The report is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/5a259-social-housing-construction-projects-status-report-q2-2022/.

A version of the CSR file can also be downloaded for analysis at the link below: data.gov.ie/dataset/social-housing-construction-status-report-q2-2022?package_type=dataset.

For some projects, a local authority or Approved Housing Body will enter into a development agreement, prior to the commencement of construction, for the purchase of homes for social or affordable housing. My Department does not hold the details requested by the Deputy in relation to the number of projects where such arrangements involve over 50% of the overall development.
