View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 549 and 550 together.
My Department publishes comprehensive programme-level statistics on a quarterly basis on social and affordable housing delivery activity by local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) in each local authority, on a local authority basis. Data on social housing delivery and performance against target is also published.
This data is available to the end of Q2 2025 and is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/.
My Department also publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR), which provides details of social housing developments, their location and their funding programme that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of the design and tender processes. The most recent publication was for Quarter 2 2025. All CSRs are available at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/cb885-social-housing-construction-projects-status-reports/.
Below are two tables that outline the build totals for the four Dublin LA’s, which separates apartments, houses and Part V units. The below data represents 2,891 units out of a total of 3,197 units delivered between 2024 – Q2 2025 and my Department is working with local authorities to obtain unit level data for the outstanding units.
