641. Deputy Aidan Farrelly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of social rental housing units being provided in 2022, 2023, and 2024 under payment and availability agreement arrangements (P&A); the total cost of these agreements in these years; and the average P&A cost per unit in these years, in tabular form.

View answerThe Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) supports the delivery of social housing by providing financial support to local authorities for the leasing of houses and apartments. SHCEP funds the P&A costs associated with the leasing of relevant units.
Details of state expenditure on the Social Housing Leasing Programme from 2015 up to the end of Q2 2025 can be found on my Department's website at the following link:
