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The project referred to did not proceed as originally submitted but has since been replaced by a similar project, which will deliver 18 dwelling units along with a 5 bed communal dwelling in the same area. This project is expected to be completed by end 2025.
