View answerMy Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity. This data 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/. This provides information for a number of categories of social housing delivery in terms of the various delivery streams and also contains the targets for each local authority during each year of the programme.
In addition, Cork County Council’s Housing Delivery Action Plan, which sets out details of social and affordable housing delivery in the period 2022-2026, is available on the Council’s website at www.corkcoco.ie/en/resident/housing/housing-delivery-action-plan-2022-2026. The Council has a social housing delivery target of 3,198 units over the period 2022 to 2026. The Action Plan will be subject to ongoing review to ensure that it reflects changing social housing pipelines and needs as they arise.
