Local authorities completed or acquired 4,510 local authority housing units in 2004. Detailed information on a local authority basis on the number of such houses completed or acquired in 2004 is available in the annual housing statistics bulletins published by my Department, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library and on the Department's website at www.environ.ie. Information is not available to my Department on the number of houses which were re-let by local authorities in 2004.

The total provision for the local authority housing construction and acquisition programme in 2004 was €703 million. Expenditure incurred by each local authority on the programme in 2004, which is funded by a combination of Exchequer capital grants and local authority internal capital receipts, is set out in the following table.
