As I said, the information is being collated and will be brought forward shortly and posted on our website. On the figure of 3,000 affordable homes, more than 770 cost rental homes were delivered by AHBs and local authorities. Some 1,039 affordable purchase homes have to date been advertised by local authorities for homes delivered in 2022, and for delivery this year and next year.
I have other examples. In partnership with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, the LDA has commenced construction of 597 homes, including 306 cost-rental, 91 affordable purchase and 200 social, at Shanganagh. The LDA has commenced construction on State lands in phase 1 of housing delivery at the site of the former St. Kevin's Hospital in Cork city. That project will deliver 265 homes, made up of 119 affordable purchase, 119 cost-rental and 25 Part V social housing units The first home shared equity scheme was launched on 27 July 2022, with more than 2,500 approvals given under the scheme. There is delivery at scale. I acknowledge the point the Deputy is making but we are delivering homes that are affordable for individuals and families right across the country.
