My Department does not have comprehensive data on average house prices in all locations. However, information on the average house prices in five specified areas, namely Cork, Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, together with an average price for all other locations is published on a quarterly and annual basis in the Department's housing statistics bulletin, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library, and on the Department's website at www.environ.ie.

Based on these data, estimated prices for Dublin and outside Dublin in 1997 and June 2005 are as follows:

Dublin Outside Dublin
Average price 1997 â'¬â'¬
New houses 122,036 95,554
Second hand houses 131,258 86,506
Average price June 2005
New houses 346,683 254,333
Second hand houses 440,529 271,262
