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.
