Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

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

The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51

Details on social housing delivery under Part V arrangements, broken down by local authority, is included in the social housing statistics that are published on an ongoing basis by my Department, available on the statistics page of my Department’s website at: https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/fd048-affordable-housing-and-part-v-statistics/#part-v-scheme.

The delivery statistics do not include the expenditure data so the table below sets out the expenditure on Part V properties for each local authority for each of the past five years. The information is based on the financial information available to my Department of funding sought by and provided to the local authorities. It is possible that some Part V properties, while recorded as delivered, may not as yet have had the full costs claimed or recouped. Delivery does not necessarily occur in the year of approval or spend.

Agreement on Part V arrangements is a matter for the local authorities. My Department does not track data on the number of units that may be available to purchase, it records Part V unit data based on the quarterly delivery returns and the expenditure recouped by the local authorities. Further details on Part V delivery may be available from the individual local authorities.
