Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

My Department publishes a wide range of housing statistics and data on the number of affordable housing units broken down by local authority area are included within this range. While my Department collates and publishes statistics on loan arrears in local authorities these are not broken down by loan type and I am unable, therefore, to provide specific data for affordable housing arrears.
