Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 January 2026
623. Deputy Martin Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the average re-letting time for vacant local authority dwellings in 2025, as reported in the local authority performance indicators, broken down by local authority. [5668/26]
View answerLocal authorities will always have a level of vacancy in their housing stock. This will fluctuate over time as tenancy surrender and re-letting of dwellings is an ongoing process. Accordingly, data on the number of vacant homes are not routinely collated by my department.
That said, statistics in relation to social homes, at a point in time, are published by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in its Annual Reports on Performance Indicators in Local Authorities. These reports provide a range of information in relation to social housing stock, including average re-letting time for local authority owned properties.
The most recent NOAC report published in 2025 relating to 2024 is available on the link below with average re-letting times per local authority outlined on page 35.
