An Acquisitions Fund of €70m was established with effect from 1 January 2017, with the objective of acquiring homes for onward sale to Approved Housing Bodies for use for social housing purposes. Below is a detailed breakdown of Housing Agency Fund delivery by local authority.
My Department does not maintain a record of vacant properties acquired under compulsory purchase order by local authorities. This data may be available from relevant local authorities.
Under Housing for All, the Government is introducing a range of measures to address vacancy and to ensure the efficient use of existing stock. Pathway 4 of the Plan sets out details of these measures. An electronic version of Housing for All is available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/ef5ec-housing-for-all-a-new-housing-plan-for-ireland/
