Detailed information on the number of local authority house starts and completions for the last five years is available in the annual housing statistics bulletins published by my Department, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. Figures for 2004 are also available on my Department's website at www.environ.ie. New multi-annual action plans have been prepared by local authorities for the provision of social and affordable housing over the period 2004-2008. These plans, which have been approved by my Department, are designed to assist local authorities in identifying priority needs over the coming years to provide a coherent and co-ordinated response across all housing services.
