1721. Deputy John Deasy asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of local authority dwellings that have been built in each housing authority area in the past 20 years; and the number of these that were acquired under the tenant purchase scheme, by council area, for this period. [54602/17]
View answerThrough the supports made available from my Department, funding is available to all local authorities to deliver additional social housing stock through new construction projects and through the acquisition of new and previously owned houses/apartments for social housing use, including through working with approved housing bodies.
Details on the number of properties built and purchased in all local authority areas, for letting to those on the social housing waiting lists, are available on my Department’s website at the following link:
http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/social-housing/social-and-affordble/overall-social-housing-provision. Information on quarter four of 2017 will be published once finalised.
Information on sale of local authority houses up to 2016 is also available by local authority on my Department's website at the following link:
