Details of the number of social and affordable housing units completed in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown over the ten years to 2005 and for the 9 months to end September 2006 have been published in my Department's Housing Statistics Bulletins, which are available in the Oireachtas Library, or on the Department's website at www.environ.ie.

The main strategy for delivery of the Government's social and affordable housing programmes is through the 5-year Housing Action Plans. Like all local authorities Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown prepared their Action Plan in 2004 for the period 2004 to 2008. Action Plans are based on the overall analysis of need as established by the local authority housing strategy, and outline the proposed response in terms of new social and affordable housing, address regeneration and remedial works together with the proposed arrangements for management and maintenance of the stock. Details of individual local authority Action Plans are available from the local authority.
