Written answers

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

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 Cork County Council. This data is available to the end of 2022, and 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/

The project referred to by the Deputy was delivered on a phased basis under two separate projects, as detailed in the table below. A budget allocation of €16.8M has been approved for both projects. I understand that the development was not officially opened by a Minister.
