Details of dwellings by number of rooms is available from the Central Statistics Office as part of the housing volume of the census of population, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. My Department publishes data on the number of new dwellings completed by type of dwelling and the latest data indicate that apartments made up 22.4% of the 80,957 houses built in 2005, 53% of which are in Dublin. Details are also available on the Department's website at www.environ.ie. My Department does not have details of the number of bedrooms comprised in apartments.
I refer also to the reply to Question No. 6 of Wednesday, 8 March 2006.
