Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

The information requested is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy in accordance with Standing Orders.

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51

My Department publishes comprehensive programme level statistics on social housing delivery activity on a quarterly basis. Details on the number of social housing units provided by local authorities from 2016 to Quarter 4 2021 is published at the following link: https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.

The table below shows the average all-in costs for social housing units delivered directly by the Local Authorities, the average all-in costs of Turnkey social housing units acquired by LAs through SHIP, the average all-in-costs for Part V homes and the all-in costs for acquisition of second-hand homes including costs for refurbishments and professional fees that were delivered in 2021 and funded by my department through SHIP.

For SHIP Construction projects it should be noted that the averages predominantly relate to new build projects but also include some projects delivering new homes via refurbishment/conversion of existing/derelict properties. These averages represent a projects of various designs, types of units (houses, apartments, duplexes) and size (number of bedrooms etc.). The averages reflect current Department approved amounts, which may be subject to final adjustment (pending conclusion of contractor final accounts, etc.).

The below table reflects all-in delivery costs, which include (as applicable) construction costs, along with site / property purchase costs, fees, utilities, site investigations/surveys, local authority in-house fees, public art etc.

It should be noted that some acquisitions and Part Vs, while recorded as delivered in 2021, costs have not been claimed or recouped as yet and so are excluded from the average costs below.
