Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 February 2018
621. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government if information (details supplied) will be provided in relation to each local authority for 2016 and 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5685/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraStatistics in relation to social housing are compiled by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in its annual reports on performance indicators in local authorities. These reports provide a range of information in relation to social housing stock, including the total number of dwellings in each local authority area. The most recent NOAC report containing this information is available at the following link: http://noac.ie/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2015-PI-Report.pdf. In relation to vacant housing stock, the NOAC reports include the percentage of dwellings that were vacant on the last day of the year. The most recent NOAC report containing this information is available at the following link: http://noac.ie/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2016-PI-Report.pdf.
The latest available audited local authority annual financial statement data on rents, including arrears, covers the full year 2016 and are set out in the table.
The management and maintenance of local authority housing stock, including the implementation of planned maintenance programmes and carrying out of responsive repairs and pre-letting repairs to properties, is a matter for each individual local authority under section 58 of the Housing Act 1966 and is not directly funded by my Department. My Department does not keep data on the length of time a local authority dwelling is vacant.
Over and above maintenance programmes and responsive repairs of social housing by local authorities, my Department supports local authorities under a range of specific exchequer-funded programmes to improve the quality and availability of social housing stock. These programmes include support for the return of vacant properties to productive use, improving the energy efficiency of social housing stock and providing funding towards the cost of adaptations and extensions to meet the needs of tenants with a disability or to address serious overcrowding. Under these programmes, local authorities received funding of €68,725,969 in 2016 and €46,518,368 in 2017.
