Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 628 to 631, inclusive, together.
My Department provides funding to all local authorities to deliver additional social housing stock through new construction projects, the acquisition and leasing of new and previously owned houses/apartments and through working with Approved Housing Bodies, utilising a range of delivery options.
Provisional outputs for social housing for 2017 were published last week on my Department’s website and are available at the following link:
http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/rebuilding-ireland/social-housing-delivery-2017-ministers-statement.
The final social housing output data for 2017, including a breakdown of the social housing homes delivered in each local authority area, will be published on my Department's website in due course, following completion of the necessary validation process.
In the meantime, details in respect of delivery up to the end of quarter 3 of 2017 are currently published and available at the following link:
