My Department collects, collates and monitors data relating to the delivery of housing under the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan 2016-2021 and publishes data on a quarterly basis relating to delivery across the plan's component schemes.
Each quarter since Rebuilding Ireland commenced in 2016, my Department has published a Social Housing Construction Status Report outlining progress against targets along with a project level status report demonstrating social housing build activity across each local authority area. This is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure transparency; drive delivery and encourage solution focused discussion to achieve our mutual aim of delivering the maximum possible number of new build social homes. The Construction Status Report provides information on the most recent status of a project as it progresses through the various stages, including a status detailing "site start".
Data captured is focused, in the main, on the number of homes completed rather than commenced.
A breakdown of the number of social houses provided across 2016, 2017 and 2018, by both local authorities and approved housing bodies, including voids and Part V delivery, is set out in the table.
