Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 February 2010
517 Deputy Chris Andrews asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of affordable homes that have been leased by Dublin City Council under the long-term leasing initiative; the location of these premises; the number of private homes that have been leased by Dublin City Council under this scheme; and the number of affordable homes that are unsold in the Dublin south east area. [7657/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraSome 301 unsold affordable homes in the Dublin City area have been approved for use under the Social Housing Leasing Initiative. Of these, 158 units are operational with lease agreements signed and in place. To protect the privacy of individual households in receipt of housing support it is not the normal practice to provide information on the location of such properties.
There are currently no private homes leased by Dublin City Council under the Social Housing Leasing Initiative.
It is understood that the number of affordable homes unsold in the Dublin City area is 233, of which 46 are in the process of sale. My Department does not hold information in relation to the specific number of properties that are unsold in the South East of the city.
