View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 796 to 798, inclusive, together.
Earlier this year, as part of the target setting process for local authorities, I committed to increasing transparency and accountability by publishing quarterly data on delivery against the targets, broken down by each local authority and across all delivery streams.
The Q1 2018 report is available on my Department's website at: https://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/attachments/breakdown_of_social_housing_activity_by_local_authority_quarter_1_2018_1.xlsx.
This report provides detail on local authority and Approved Housing Body (AHB) output from January to March 2018, inlcuding local authority new build, AHB new build and Part V activity. Data for Q2 2018 is currently being finalised and will be published shortly.
Further scheme information, at project level, of new build programmes being led by local authorities and AHBs is published in the quarterly construction status report. The latest report is available at http://rebuildingireland.ie/news/minister-murphy-publishes-social-housing-construction-status-report-q1-2018/.
