I propose to take Questions Nos. 476 and 477 together.
I refer to the reply to Question No. 278 of 8 May 2012.
Of the original 2,045 properties identified by NAMA for possible social housing, the following table sets out the breakdown of the 910 units identified in the Dublin region by authority:
Local Authority
|

Dublin City

484

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Co. Co.
|
210
|
Fingal Co. Co.
|
198
|
South Dublin Co. Co.
|

910

Given the number of variables involved it is not possible at this stage to provide a reliable estimate of the number of units that will be fully transferred to social use by the end of 2012. My Department and the Housing Agency continue to engage intensively with NAMA, including in respect of the identification of units to replace those no longer available or which are unsuitable, with the aim of ensuring progressive implementation of the commitment to the transfer of some 2,000 units by NAMA.
