My Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on social housing delivery on a quarterly basis. Details on the number of social housing units provided by all local authorities including by Wexford County Council in 2020 and Quarter 1 of 2021, is available on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.
My Department also publishes a Social Housing Construction Status Report each quarter, which contains details of all social housing developments completed, under construction or at the planning and design stage in each local authority area including Wexford. The report provides details of the location of each project, the status and the number of units approved and therefore, provides public representatives with ongoing data on their local authorities' social housing construction programme. The most recent Construction Status Report, published on 28 May 2021, covers the period up to the end of Quarter 1 2021 and is available at the following link: rebuildingireland.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Social-Housing-Construction-Status-Report-Q1-2021.pdf
I am keen that Wexford County Council adds further to their pipeline and I have assured them that funding is not an obstacle in this regard. I hope that they will have the continued support of the public representatives in their work to deliver new social housing projects.
