Question 107: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his views on the fact that only 809 affordable housing units were built in 2004, less than 1% of total housing output; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11038/05]

While many housing units will also have been provided at affordable prices by the operation of the housing market around the country, some 2,000 units were provided through the various Government affordable housing schemes in 2004. I am satisfied, given current levels of activity on these schemes, that this figure will be exceeded in 2005.
