Information to end September 2006 on the number of transactions completed under the various affordable housing schemes in each local authority area is published in my Department's Housing Statistics Bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library and also on my Department's website at www.environ.ie. Provisional annual data for 2006 indicate that 12 affordable houses were completed in the Carlow County Council area last year. Information supplied by the Council in its Housing Action Plan indicates that it anticipates completing 58 affordable homes in 2007. Detailed information on the location of these units and on the number and length of time of individual applicants on their affordable housing list is not available in my Department.
