Question 549: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the number of housing schemes under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 forwarded to his Department by local authorities in 2004 and 2005 that were rejected on cost basis; the locations where they were located; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The extent to which local authorities avail of Part V arrangements for the acquisition of social housing units is a matter to be determined by local authorities based on the housing needs identified in their housing strategies. My Department has not refused to sanction housing units on the basis of cost in 2004 or 2005 which were to be acquired by a local authority in accordance with an agreement under Part V.
