I wish to know the details of local authority houses built in 2018 in each local authority area. I raise this area specifically because it is the only one in which we have security of tenure. The housing assistance payment does not give tenants security of tenure. House-building and acquisitions will, as will the cost-rental model, I hope.

Last year, the Minister announced that 7,000 homes had been built. At a meeting in Cork, it transpired the number was much lower, amounting to only 700 approximately. This year, the Minister is saying the number will be 8,400. I would like the details on this if the Minister can provide them.
