Amharc ar fhreagraHousing for All, is the Government’s plan to increase the supply of housing to an average of 33,000 per year over the next decade. This includes the delivery of 90,000 social homes by 2030. Housing for All is supported by an investment package of over €4bn per annum, through an overall combination of €12bn in direct Exchequer funding, €3.5bn in funding through the Land Development Agency and €5bn funding through the Housing Finance Agency.
My Department does not collate data on the numbers of housing units owned by individual local authorities. This information may be available for Mayo County Council. The National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) also produces an annual Performance Indicator Report for local authorities, which details a range of performance indicators for local authorities, including local authority owned social housing stock and the vacancy rate of this housing stock. The most recent report, relating to 2021, is available on the NOAC website at the following link: noac.ie/noac_publications/report-50-noac-performance-indicator-report-2021/
