Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy. Data on number of private house completions are included within this range, and are available on my Department’s website at http://www.environ.ie/en/Publications/StatisticsandRegularPublications/HousingStatistics/FileDownLoad,15293,en.xls, by clicking on the “Qrtly house completions by sector 1970 to date” tab under the “House Building” heading. While my Department expects an increase in completions in 2015/2016, it is not possible to predict exact completion rates for the wider housing market for that time period.
