Information on the number of social and affordable housing units acquired under Part V of the Planning and Development Acts 2000 — 2004 in each local authority area until the end of September 2005 is published in my Department's housing statistics bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library and also on the Department's website at www.environ.ie. Provisional annual data for 2005 on the number of social and affordable houses acquired in the areas requested in the question indicate that Kildare County Council acquired 45 units. While the number of instances of financial transactions is not available in my Department, Kildare County Council received a total of €1,971,153 in lieu of land transfers. There have been no sites acquired by any of the councils referred to in the question.
