Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 686 and 687 together.
My Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing and planning statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy and those data are available on my Department’s website www.environ.ie.
Data on the number of local authority houses constructed and purchased are included as part of that range. Data for 2012 are still being compiled and will be available in due course.
