Housing for All is the Government’s plan to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 per year over the next decade. This includes the delivery of 90,000 social homes by 2030. Housing for All is supported by an investment package of over €4bn per annum, through an overall combination of €12bn in direct Exchequer funding, €3.5bn in funding through the Land Development Agency and €5bn funding through the Housing Finance Agency.
My Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity by local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) in each local authority, including Meath. This data for 2021 is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.
Social housing construction is funded through a range of delivery streams such as local authority direct construction, Part V, turnkey developments, regeneration programmes and through direct construction and turnkey developments delivered by Approved Housing Bodies. My Department provided funding of €43.16 million in 2021 to Meath County Council in respect of social housing construction programmes.
Meath County Council delivered 74 social housing properties through various leasing initiatives in 2021, with an average cost of €14,263 per annum per property.
The National Land Register provides details of title to property in Ireland based on registered Folios. The information relating to the ownership of the Folio, and any burdens on the property, is recorded on the Register. However, the Register does not indicate whether the Folio includes a building of any kind or, where a building exists, if it is commercial or residential property.
