Alan Farrell (Dublin Fingal, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

In the context of this question, I wonder whether the Department has the capacity or maintains a database of properties that have been applied for, either directly for social housing or where there is a known element of social housing to be delivered in a private estate. Does the Department maintain a register of failed projects? I am specifically asking about the number of projects that are slipping through the cracks and not being delivered as a result of either objections or technical issues with planning applications. It would be helpful for us to see a broader picture of the flow of social homes, and what Deputy Boyd Barrett is referring to, family homes, or both. Those family homes will primarily come in private estates with a particular percentage that should be delivered as part of that housing application.
