View answerMy Department does not hold the data requested.
Information on planning permissions granted is published quarterly by the Central Statistics Office (CSO). This includes data for planning permissions granted which can be broken down by type of dwelling, including for private flats and apartments and is available by local authority area. This data can be found at Dataset BHQ17 at the following link on CSO website [https://data.cso.ie/table/BHQ17].
The relevant planning authorities may be contacted to provide the information directly.
