Amharc ar fhreagraStatistics in relation to the social housing stock are published by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in their Annual Reports on Performance Indicators in Local Authorities. These reports provide a range of information in relation to social housing stock, including re-letting time by local authority. The most recent report, relating to 2020, is available on the NOAC website at the following link:

Further details in relation to vacancy periods should be available upon request from each local authority. It should be noted that local authorities will always have a certain level of vacancy in their housing stock. This will fluctuate over time, as tenancy surrender and re-letting of stock is an ongoing process.
