Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 January 2026
393. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of tenant-in-situ purchase applications received, completed and refused in County Waterford in each year from 2020 to 2025; and the number of instances for each refusal reason type. [3009/26]
View answerThe administration of acquisitions under the Second Hand Acquisitions Programme, including for tenancy sustainment (via tenant in situ), is delegated to local authorities. Accordingly, data on the number of applications received or refused by Waterford City and County Council in any given year is not captured by my Department and should be sought directly from the local authority.
My Department publishes programme-level statistics quarterly for social housing delivery, including for social housing acquisitions. These data are currently available to end Q3 2025 and can be accessed at
[https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/].
The provisional outturn for Waterford suggests 12 acquisitions were completed under the 2025 Second Hand Acquisitions Programme. The final outturn will be confirmed when the Q4 2025 social housing delivery statistics are published in the coming months.
