Amharc ar fhreagraA National Housing Development Survey has been conducted by my Department with assistance from the Housing Agency and local authorities, annually since 2010. The survey assesses the progress of developments categorised as 'unfinished developments'. The results of the survey, the most recent of which refers to 2014, as well as an Annual Progress Report on Actions to Address Unfinished Housing Developments, are published on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.environ.ie/en/DevelopmentHousing/Housing/UnfinishedHousingDevelopments/#Progress. The 2015 National Housing Development Survey and the Annual Progress Report are due for completion shortly and I will be publishing the results. I am confident that good progress is continuing to be made in resolving unfinished developments and the reactivation of sites is now evident throughout the country.
