I propose to take Questions Nos. 252 and 253 together.

Numbers of actual housing starts by the three local authorities in County Kildare under their construction-acquisition programmes for the years 2000-04 are set out in the following table.

Local authorities completed or acquired 3,207 housing units nationally in 2000, 5,022 units in 2001, 5,074 units in 2002, 4,972 units in 2003 and 4,510 units in 2004. Detailed information on the number of local authority houses completed-acquired by local authorities for the years 2000 to 2004 is available on the Department's website at www.environ.ie.
